Mid-Century Modern Asymmetrical Faceted Lead Crystal Vase

This is a heavy, substantial decorative vase crafted from high-quality colorless lead crystal, exhibiting the clean lines and geometric experimentation characteristic of Mid-Century Modern or Post-Modern design, likely circa 1960s-1980s. The piece features a striking asymmetrical form with deep, precision-cut facets on the exterior that create a prismatic play of light. Its construction is exceptionally thick-walled, particularly at the base, which provides significant weight and stability. The interior reservoir is smooth and rounded, contrasting with the sharp, angular exterior planes. The crystal appears to have high clarity and brilliance, suggesting a high lead content typical of premium makers such as Val St. Lambert, Orrefors, or Steuben. The base is cut flat with geometric chamfers that allow the vase to sit securely at a slight angle. Visible condition includes some light surface dust and minor shelf wear on the resting points of the base, but no significant chips, cracks, or deep abrasions are immediately evident in the provided view. The craftsmanship displays expert cold-working techniques, particularly in the polishing of the large flat planes which show no waves or distortions, indicating a high-end production piece.
