Pivoines Amber Vase

The combination of brute strength and elegance, the contrast of the square shape against the curved lines of the carved motifs, the Pivoines vases and bowl represent the contrast of mineral power and floral romance. A symbol of wealth, beauty and honor, the peony is a flower often depicted, especially in China. As if carved out of a rock, the lushness of the flowers takes over the crystal, as if luxurious nature has taken its rightful place atop desolate structures. Their model is also reminiscent of the process of Lost Wax sculpture, where the artisan breaks the plaster mold to reveal the piece.
