Cristal de Sèvres Crystal Pedestal Dish with Art Deco Style Frosted Lady Figure

$245.00

When I first saw this sculptural piece I actually had to catch my breath. It looks part art-deco, part modern but completely beautiful. It is also my mum’s favourite piece and it’s easy to see why, you can see straightaway how rare and special this piece is.

Made by Cristal de Sèvres, a well known French luxury crystal house known for bringing together traditional French craftsmanship with more modern artistry, the frosted female figure forming the base has a beautiful charm to it. Very feminine, very sculptural and very ‘art-deco’ in style. Above her sits a clear dish with a swirl of colour that moves gently from green to lavender which looks almost painted yet would be the result of a very talented glass maker.

My research tells me that the bowl on top may not be the original but this doesn’t take away from its form and charm. If anything, the contrast of styles only adds to her appeal - I suspect this is why I gasped when I first saw it. It is truly unique.

So if you love pieces that feel a little magical and a lot unexpected, I hope this piece speaks to you too.

  • The overall condition is great.
    The glass is clear and the frosted figure looks beautiful. The top bowl is likely not the original pairing, and there is some browning to the glue at the join. Along the lip of the dish there is also a tiny area of light roughness underneath near lip.
    Neither takes away from how elegant the piece looks on display.

  • This piece sits beautifully as a sculptural moment in a room, but I also wonder if it can hold something small and simple. A few berries, a little sweet treat, just enough to make a moment at the table feel special. A centrepiece of sorts, and as it’s French, served best with champagne.
