This sculptural crystal object is a signed example from The Franklin Mint, dating to the 1980s, and marked on the underside with both a signature and the initials FM. The piece features a bold, angular modernist form composed of stacked, stepped planes that reflect and refract light dramatically from every angle.
Executed in heavy, high-quality crystal, the design embodies the sleek, architectural aesthetic popular in late 20th-century decorative art. Its abstract profile allows it to function equally well as a standalone art object, desk sculpture, or decorative centerpiece.
Franklin Mint crystal pieces from this era are recognized for their craftsmanship, clarity, and collectible appeal, particularly when signed and well-preserved.
