Caldera Vase

Since its founding in 1888 by René Lalique, the storied house has become a symbol of timeless French luxury—and France’s premier destination for handcrafted crystal.

The caldera, a grand terrestrial formation, bears witness to a volcanic history. With its circular shape, this vast crater becomes a reservoir of beauty and a guardian of age-old secrets. The Caldera pieces take on these contours, featuring a delicate cracked pattern that evokes the perpetual renewal of the earth. Between shadow and light, the contrast of the design is sublimated by repolished satin crystal, Lalique's signature, which brings a unique realism and aesthetic. Inspired by this majestic receptacle of Nature, Lalique crystallizes it into vases. A tribute to a mineral Earth that offers us an eternally poetic spectacle.
