Brutalist Crystal Glass Celery Vase - 1960s

Originally conceived as a celery vase, this impressive crystal glass piece has long transcended its original purpose. Today, its sculptural silhouette and architectural presence make it an exceptional statement vase for branches, floral arrangements or as a standalone decorative object. The design is defined by its sharply cut crosshatch pattern and distinctive applied square glass elements, creating a striking interplay of texture, depth and light. Resting on a substantial pedestal foot, the vase combines the brilliance of cut crystal with a bold, almost Brutalist expression that feels both graphic and timeless. The generous scale further enhances its commanding presence. Whether displayed with flowers or appreciated as a sculptural centerpiece, the vase beautifully captures and refracts light, revealing the remarkable craftsmanship of mid-century crystal glass production. Originally created for serving celery - a tradition that gave rise to these elegant pedestal vessels in earlier centuries - it has evolved into a highly decorative collector's object valued for its unique form and versatility. 37cm high, 19cm diameter
