Mid 20th Century Pair of Italian Rock Crystal Lidded Urns

A luminous and sculptural pair of hand-carved rock crystal urns with matching lids, executed in solid natural quartz and raised on faceted plinth bases. Each urn features a classical baluster form rising from a square pedestal base, culminating in a domed lid topped with a spherical finial. The stone displays beautiful internal crystalline formations, natural veining, and subtle inclusions that catch and refract light, producing delicate prismatic flashes throughout the surface. The translucency of the rock crystal gives the pieces an ethereal quality, while their substantial scale at 16.5 inches high lends architectural presence. The faceted bases and softly rounded bodies create a harmonious balance between geometry and organic mineral beauty. Dimensions: 16.5” H x 7.5” W x 7.5” D
