The Crésus Vase carries the house's milky white glaze on a full, rounded body — a flared neck dropping into a generous belly before narrowing to a footed base. What sets it apart is the rim: a fine band of gold traces the opening, a small formal note against the otherwise plain white.
Part of the Crésus series, named for its gilded detail — festive in a distinctly French register, without straying into ornament elsewhere on the piece.
Dimensions: 11.5 x 11.5 x 17.5cm.
Handmade ceramic, made in Paris.
