‘Mossi’ Lalique vase in cerulean blue
The ‘Mossi’ vase, which has six rings of clear cabochons studded on its satin-polished surface, is a hallmark of French glassmaker Lalique. Company founder René Lalique created the original glass vase in 1933, drawing inspiration from the Mossi people of West Africa, and anticipating a surge of popular interest in modernist design.
The vase has since been produced in crystal, in a choice of four colourways – clear, amber, gold lustre and black – now joined by this 100th-anniversary edition’s striking shade of blue (featured in the October 2022 issue of Wallpaper*).
The new colour is achieved by a precise mix of copper oxide and manganese softened by phosphate, and a highly-controlled cooling down process, reflecting Lalique’s veneration of craft and pursuit of technical mastery.
At the company’s Wingen-sur-Moder workshops, its only production site, some 200 craftspeople create between 350,000 and 400,000 crystal pieces each year, with each piece involving up to 40 distinct steps during the making process. Works span from perfume bottles, jewellery and decorative objects to custom crystal designs, such as light installations, for architectural projects.
The ‘Mossi’ Lalique vase in cerulean blue crystal retails for £2,250.
