The Athena vase was produced by Cristal D'Arques, a renowned French glassware manufacturer established in 1968 in Arques, France. This particular design features vertical ribbing and a flared, scalloped rim, characteristic of the company's lead crystal production from the late 20th century. Cristal D'Arques pieces are highly regarded for their clarity, brilliance, and affordability compared to traditional full lead crystal. The Athena collection appeals to collectors of fine glassware and mid-century decorative arts for its elegant design and superior craftsmanship. These vases are particularly valued by those who appreciate French crystal manufacturing traditions combined with accessible luxury.
