Celesto - Decorative teardrop vase in blue mother-of-pearl marquetry, floral motif

Introduction

Celesto evokes a fragment of sky placed in the home. Its name suggests a celestial, almost pictorial imagery: a luminous surface where blues echo each other, where petals seem to float like vegetal constellations on a mother-of-pearl background.

Its teardrop silhouette reinforces this impression of suspended softness. The volume is round, generous, soothing; the constricted neck provides stability, while the stable base anchors the piece with balance. Celesto doesn't need to do too much: it attracts with its shape, its light, its singular presence that leaves no one indifferent.

The floral motif unfurls across the entire surface like a celestial composition in motion. Fragments of blue mother-of-pearl create petals with changing hues - lagoon blue, light turquoise, deep blue, opalescent reflections - punctuated by warmer, almost solar centers. The ensemble forms a delicate picture, somewhere between blooming flowers, sea foam, and summer sky.

Depending on the viewing angle, time of day, or light intensity, Celesto reveals a different presence. The mother-of-pearl captures reflections, shades them, transforms them: sometimes soft and milky, sometimes more vivid, almost iridescent. Each glance offers a new interpretation of the piece.

At 20 cm high, Celesto easily integrates into an interior while providing a true accent. On a coffee table, console, shelf, bedside table, or sideboard, it can stand alone as a sculptural object, or hold dried flowers, fine herbs, and decorative branches.

It is an exceptional piece, designed to bring beauty to everyday life, but also to become a distinguished, durable, and impactful gift.

Material

100% genuine mother-of-pearl and artisanal marquetry

Celesto is entirely covered in genuine mother-of-pearl, hand-worked using demanding marquetry expertise. Each fragment is cut, adjusted, then assembled with precision to compose its blue floral motif, petal by petal.

Mother-of-pearl gives the piece its depth and singular brilliance. Its natural nuances, between lagoon blue, turquoise, opalescent reflections, and more mineral touches, create a living surface whose appearance evolves according to the angle and light.

The polished finish reveals all the richness of the material, while the non-slip base provides stability and protection when in contact with furniture.

Artisan's note

Each vase is handmade using meticulous mother-of-pearl marquetry. The fragments are selected, cut, then positioned one by one to create the floral motif and preserve the visual balance of the piece.

This manual work gives each vase its own character. Slight variations in shade, cut, alignment, surface or luminous intensity may appear from one piece to another. These are not defects: they bear witness to the living nature of mother-of-pearl and the intervention of the artisan's hand.
