Silex vases

Silex vases were created by Lalique as part of the Terramineral series, inspired by the natural beauty and textures of flint shaped over millennia. These vases are notable not just for their sculptural form, but the artistic presentation of faceted surfaces and irregular contours is particularly innovative. Multiple planes and facets catch the light from different angles, creating the impression that the pieces are alive with movement and depth. Renowned crystal house Lalique pays tribute to the raw elegance of nature with its Silex designs.

These creations are timeless masterpieces that consistently capture attention. Each vase is meticulously polished by hand to create a play of light that enhances transparency and the sculptural relief of the crystal glass. Lalique uses various techniques to achieve subtle contrasts in finish, which are closely guarded secrets. Minor variations in texture and shade are normal and reflect the unique creation process of each piece.
