Daum Large Citrus Vase – Limited Edition Crystal Art 05836
True artistic power does not loudly demand your attention; it commands it through a radiant burst of Mediterranean sun and color. This magnificent, sculptural vase freezes the vivid energy and freshness of a ripening lemon grove into an imposing block of colored crystal. It instantly shifts the visual weight of an interior, transforming any grand tabletop, entry console, or illuminated niche into an exhibition of pure, high-jewelry glasswork.
STORY & MEANING
The Large Citrus Vase stands as a luminous pinnacle within Maison Daum’s celebrated contemporary botanical archives. Drawing its creative life directly from the sun-drenched, fragrant orchards of Andalusia in southern Spain, this design celebrates citrus fruits as permanent symbols of vitality, warmth, and natural elegance. It moves away from predictable floral motifs to embrace the bold zest, crisp texturing, and rich geometric shapes of lemons in bloom.
The vase is brought to life using Daum's centuries-old, meticulous pâte de verre (crystal paste) technique. Crushed multi-tonal yellow and green crystal is hand-packed into a custom plaster mold before undergoing a slow, multi-day firing process inside a high-temperature kiln. Because the single-use mold must be broken away to free the finished vase, the resulting color gradations—which capture the translucent flesh, porous rinds, and delicate leaves of the fruit—belong entirely to this specific piece.
Restricted to a highly elite global edition of only 175 numbered pieces, this heavy, masterfully sculpted work bridges the gap between functional design and avant-garde fine art. It acts as a permanent, high-value trust anchor for your decor, built exclusively for the connoisseur who respects the patience of ancient lost-wax firing and the magnetic aura of a Mediterranean summer.
KEY FEATURES
Lost-Wax Pâte de Verre Technique: The signature crystal paste method gives the vase a frosted, highly tactile surface texture that absorbs, scatters, and plays with natural room light.
Andalusian Sculptural Detail: Whole lemon fruits, crisp leaves, and curling zest are delicately rendered across the crystal body, mimicking the organic complexity of a living orchard.
Vibrant Yellow Color Story: The radiant, sunny yellow palette infuses any space with a sophisticated warmth, effortlessly catching spotlighting to reveal hidden internal depths.
Imposing Estate-Scale Weight: Standing 30 cm tall and weighing a substantial 11 kilograms (over 24 lbs), this monument possesses the physical presence required to anchor large-volume rooms.
Hand-Signed Atelier Pedigree: Every piece is accompanied by an official certificate of authenticity, anchoring its status as a limited-run collectible.

AVAILABILITY / URGENCY
The Large Citrus Vase is one of the lowest-yield and most highly coveted botanical releases in the modern luxury industry. Because the hand-packing of complex multi-tonal crystal paste is a slow, low-yield artisanal process, batch arrivals from France are strictly managed. With only 175 units created for global distribution, allocation is extremely limited. We invite you to add this magnetic expression of Mediterranean light to your private collection while this pristine, brand-new example remains available.
