The Gallery's Perspective
There’s a sweet, theatrical tenderness to this crystalline Pierrot — a delicate figure caught mid-gesture, as if bowing to an invisible audience. The clear, faceted crystal body reads as both costume and light-catcher: its broad, geometric planes throw soft flashes while keeping the figure visually weightless. Small colored rondelles — red, green and yellow — punctuate the torso, hat and feet, giving the piece a playful, almost childlike note against the cool clarity of the crystal. The head and hands are more softly modeled, lending a gentle expressiveness to the pose without diminishing the sculpture’s elegant simplicity. At eight inches tall the piece feels intimate rather than monumental, the sort of object that rewards a close look and brings a quiet, theatrical charm to a mantel, cabinet or shelf. Its retired, annual-edition status also lends a sense of quiet exclusivity to the little performer.

Swarovski is the luxury brand name for the range of precision-cut lead crystal glass products produced by companies owned by Swarovski AG of Feldmeilen, near Zürich, Switzerland.
The Swarovski Group also includes Tyrolit (makers of abrasive and cutting tools); Swareflex (reflective and luminous road markings); Signity (synthetic gemstones); and Swarovski Optik (optical instruments).
The company runs a crystal-themed indoor theme park, Swarovski Kristallwelten (Crystal Worlds) at its original Wattens site (near Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria).
Swarovski was also a sponsor for The Phantom of the Opera (2004 film), in which the "standing model" of the chandelier was composed of Swarovski crystals. A Swarovski shop window is also visible later in the film. However, the current swan logo, instead of the edelweiss flower which would have been the case in the era the film was set, appears.
Swarovski crystal was born when Bohemian-born Daniel Swarovski invented an automatic cutting machine in 1892. In 1895 the Swarovski company was founded when he established a crystal cutting factory in Wattens. Here he could take advantage of local hydroelectricity for the energy-intensive grinding processes he had patented.
Swarovski crystal contains approximately 32% lead to maximize refraction. The Swarovski Crystal range includes crystal sculptures and miniatures, jewelry and couture, home decor and chandeliers. They also sell beads and rhinestones, encouraging other manufacturers, artists and consumers to create their own designs.
In order to create a crystal that allows light to refract in a rainbow spectrum, Swarovski coats some of its crystals with special metallic chemical coatings. Aurora Borealis, or "AB", is one of the most popular coatings, and gives the surface a rainbow oil slick appearance. Other coatings include Crystal Transmission, Volcano, Aurum, and Dorado. Coatings may be applied to only part of an object; others are coated twice, and thus are designated AB 2X, Dorado 2X etc
