Description: A large-scale mid-century modern crystal centerpiece bowl produced by Cristalleries de Vannes-le-Châtel. The piece features a dramatic, freeform "winged" or "crown" silhouette with deep undulations and a thick, heavy base. The clear lead crystal exhibits high clarity and brilliance, characteristic of the French glasshouse's 1950s-60s output. The underside of the base bears the acid-etched signature "Art Vannes France," and the interior retains the original silver foil distributor label for "Avitra New York."
