Description
Clarisse’s story
It was at a Lisbon antique dealer’s, amid a flea market full of curious objects, that we discovered these mould-pressed glass cylinders with their unusually generous rippled pattern. Their double design immediately caught our eye: sweeping horizontal waves across the body, an arc-motif frieze near the top, and a serrated rim like a glass crown.
Back in our Lisbon workshop, we mounted each cylinder onto a round beige-veined Estremoz marble base — that warm Portuguese white marble, quarried since Antiquity in the Alentejo region. And so Clarisse was born, the most baroque and sculptural piece in our collection.
Good to know: our glass shades are either sourced or faithfully re-edited. For sourced pieces, slight imperfections or marks may sometimes be visible — small chips or minor irregularities. These are part of the history and authenticity of each piece, and are of course mentioned in the description.
