The Lalique Pivoines Bowl in clear crystal embodies the poetic tension between architectural form and organic beauty. Like its companion vases, this exceptional piece showcases the juxtaposition of mineral strength and floral romanticism, where rigid structure meets the gentle curves of blooming peonies. Symbolizing prosperity, beauty, and honor, the peony is especially revered in Chinese tradition. In the Lalique Pivoines Bowl, these iconic blossoms seem to emerge naturally from the angular form—garlands of sculpted flowers flowing across the surface as if nature were reclaiming an abandoned monument. Crafted to evoke the effect of Lost Wax sculpture, the modelling suggests a crystalline revelation: as if the bowl had been chiseled from stone to unveil intricate floral artistry. Each detail—petals, textures, and shadows—is masterfully executed, a testament to Lalique’s unmatched crystal craftsmanship. Measuring 10 cm (3.94 in) in height and 26 cm (10.2 in) in both length and width, and weighing 7.0 kg (15.43 lbs), the Lalique Pivoines Bowl is substantial yet refined—a perfect centerpiece for elegant dining tables or artful interiors. Entirely handcrafted in France, this bowl is not just a decorative object, but a sculptural homage to the enduring power of nature and artistic legacy.
