Art Deco silver vase, a rare and highly collectible piece by Desny, Paris, one of the most avant-garde and influential design studios of the 1920s and 1930s. Known for their pioneering work in geometric and modernist forms, Desny was a key player in the evolution of Art Deco metalwork, blending functionalism with bold, sculptural aesthetics.

Design & Form
This Vase exemplifies Desny’s signature style, characterized by pure geometric volumes and an emphasis on clean architectural lines. The inverted triangular base showcases elegant symmetry and balance, making it a functional and sculptural object.

The highly polished silver surface beautifully reflects light, enhancing the sharp contours and creating a sense of dynamism. This machine-age aesthetic, combined with a minimalistic approach, aligns with the principles of early modernist design, which was influenced by movements such as Bauhaus and Cubism. This is not the cup that you typically see with the collector cocktail set, it is more vase-shaped and detailed.
