Crafted with exceptional clarity, the piece features a brilliant, light-catching polish on the whales, which contrasts beautifully against the frosted, sculptural base representing the churning sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design emphasizes fluid movement, from the arch of the mother’s fluke to the textured pleats on the whales' underbellies. The frosted base provides a sturdy, weighted foundation, making it an ideal statement piece for a mantle, desk, or display cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome Cristal d'Arques pieces that were made in France during the timeframe that they were making their \"Animal Boutique\" collection (the 1990s) featured a \"VI\" etched somewhere on the base. You can see the VI on this piece in photos 3 and 7. It is not present on all of their pieces made in France, but if the mark is there, the piece was definitely made in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/span\u003e Cristal d'Arques (France) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/span\u003e Premium 24% Lead Crystal \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: Humpback Whale and Calf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Clear Polished Figural \/ Frosted Textured Base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: Approximately 6\" Length x 3.5\" Height x 3.5\" Width (as shown in photos)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Excellent vintage condition.
