Daum Crystal Vase Soliflore – by Tamara Ralph

This small, 22cm-high limited edition vase, designed to hold a single flower, features a slender, delicate woman's silhouette. This fine feminine silhouette crystallizes, as if frozen in a posture of timeless elegance. Made from pink crystal, it evokes the softness and subtlety of Tamara Ralph's creations. The soliflore recalls an organic form, with curves that seem to come to life, evoking delicate draperies that unfurl in floral arabesques, paying homage to Art Nouveau. Each detail is meticulously hand-sculpted by Daum craftsmen in Nancy, before the complex firing process lasting over eight days, to become a sumptuous decorative work.

The pieces are made using the lost-wax technique, a seven-stage process that requires more than eight days of firing before finishing. The work on the drapery is remarkable, evoking fluid fabrics that seem to move with delicate grace. The subtle combination of three shades of pink, achieved thanks to the exceptional expertise of Daum's craftsmen, gives rise to this delicate powder pink.
