https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/on-reflection-mirrorsFrench art crystal vase, circa 1960s, with twisted, deeply-ridged sides and flared top. This vase is in excellent, original condition and has the manufacturer's stamp on the base. As well as being a lovely, sculptural piece of glass, this shape of vase is perfect for holding a large bouquet of flowers.
ART Vannes originated in the village of Vannes-le-Chantel located in eastern France, in the department of Lorraine. History traces its roots to around 1765 under the patronage of the aristocracy. By 1960, more than 600 glassmakers lived in the area and produced artistic lead-based pieces in moulds purchased from former manufacturers. It was around 1970 that ART Vannes ceased production and became Cristal de Sèvres. Later they would produce under the Daum brand. As the ART Vannes FRANCE kilns only operated from 1950 to 1970, vases such as this are relatively rare and collectable.
