Swarovski Retail Store Window Display Piece never sold. Rhodium Crystal Vase

This object is a piece of Swarovski Retail Store Visual Merchanding equipment.  Was not a comsumer retail product.  It was developed by Swarovski's internal Visual Merchandising & Store Design Architecture team in austria to serve as a corporate promotional fixture for its boutique retailers.  The display pedestal features a stylized tall hourglass form or an inverted fluted tower design.  It flare symmetrically outward at both the top and bottom while tapering cleanly toward the middle.  It is constructed from a weighted core material and rhodium coated inside is a crystal test tube to hold a single bud or as used in the boutiques holding loose crystals to mimic the crystalline pieces.
