{"product_id":"portieux-vallerysthal-oiseaux-birds-in-flight-art-deco-globe-vase","title":"Portieux Vallerysthal \"Oiseaux\" Birds in Flight - Art Deco Globe Vase","description":"An exquisite example of the Lorraine glassmaking tradition, this \"Oiseaux\" (Birds) globe vase was crafted by Portieux Vallerysthal, one of France's oldest and most prestigious crystal manufactories. This piece captures the transition from Art Deco geometric discipline to the softer, organic modernism of the mid-20th century.\nThe spherical body features a rhythmic relief of stylized birds in flight, emerging from the surface. Rendered in clear pressed crystal, the deep sculptural relief refracts light naturally, creating a dynamic play of brightness and depth that highlights its form. Its substantial weight and thick-walled crystal speak to the artisanal heritage of the Lorraine region.\nWith a 6.7 cm opening originally designed for tulips, this vessel acts as a grounding anchor for a contemporary interior. Its architectural \"ball\" shape makes it a versatile statement piece, ideally styled with minimalist seasonal stems or as a standalone object of curiosité.\nKey Attributes\n\n\nObject Type: Globe Vase \/ Sculptural Vessel\n\n\nManufacturer \/ Attribution: Attributed to Portieux Vallerysthal (Oiseaux Model)\n\n\nOrigin: Lorraine, France\n\n\nPeriod: Mid-20th Century\n\n\nStyle: Art Deco \/ Organic Modernism\n\n\nKey Feature: Sculptural relief of birds in flight\n\n\nOpening Diameter: 6.7 cm\n\n\nMarkings: Unsigned (design well-documented to the house of Portieux Vallerysthal)","brand":"Trove Paris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67562887872902,"sku":null,"price":390.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/bepke6mzdc7aa6anaani.jpg?v=1791040192","url":"https:\/\/oblist.com\/fr-ch\/products\/portieux-vallerysthal-oiseaux-birds-in-flight-art-deco-globe-vase","provider":"The Oblist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
