A Baccarat clear crystal vase in the "Giverny" pattern, a modernist design by Robert Rigot for the celebrated French maison Baccarat (founded 1764 under a warrant from Louis XV). The vase rises from a compact faceted hexagonal base and sweeps upward in thick, polished curved walls that flare dramatically to an open, winged rim — a sculptural union of curves and angles that Rigot conceived to evoke the undulating play of light on water, echoing the lily-pond imagery of Monet's garden at Giverny for which the model is named. The heavy lead crystal is left plain and brilliantly polished to let the form and its refractive clarity do the work. Bears the red "Baccarat" foil label to the body. Measures 7 × 3 × 9″.
