Both vintage and avant-garde, the Stresa bowl, created in 1961 by Marc Lalique, celebrates the rich heritage of LALIQUE .
Crystal stretched and worked in its molten state becomes nascent stairs of light. This bowl, illuminated with gold applied by hand, brilliantly combines preciousness and purity. 3 layers of gold applied by hand with a brush. Each piece is the re-heated after each application of gold. The surface is then brushed by hand with a mix of very fine sand and water. This polish highlights the gold and provides the satin finish.
This artwork initiates a dialogue between the classicism of gold and the modernity of the lines with the light as vital lead. |
