About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Exceptional and important transparent lead crystal vase; the shape, rich with soft curves and rounded ends, fascinates us for its incomparable and elegant plasticity and lightness; the Master craftsmen have succeeded in making the massive crystal block, delicate almost vaporous by pulling it by torsion, working it with pliers and shaping it by hand. Under the base has been acid etched the brand of the manufacturer and from it, we can say that this refined and sculptural vase in the clear crystal has been produced was produced between 1955 and 1960 by the famous glassworks Vannes-le-Chatel in the homonymous town of Lorraine, the Grand Est area of France, the home of crystal and glass. History traces the founding of Cristalleria Vannes to around 1765, under aristocratic patronage, and it immediately became one of the most important glass manufacturers in France producing table glassware, then diversifying into ornamental works in 1930. In 1963 they began producing lead crystal decorative glass with the height of their production during 1960-1970. The glassworks of Vannes became the Compagnie Française du Cristal (CFC) then integrated Daum under the name of CFC Daum, but the prestigious pieces produced at that time, although of exceptional quality, were not branded Daum but always Vannes as our centerpiece; it was in 1970 or so that ART Vannes ceased production and Cristal de Sevres was born and only since 1980 have they produced under the brand of Daum. Regardless of the different signatures, the glass and crystal masterpieces of Vannes-le-Châtel, are part of the French decorative history. Measures diameter cm.25, height cm.27. The vase is in good condition, only the underside of the base, logically, has many scratches (see photo) due to its prolonged use. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
