About this Item
France 1860-1945
René Lalique 'Vernon' opalescent and clear glass bowl, No. 395, designed c.1928
relief-moulded 'R.LALIQUE FRANCE'
press-moulded glass
height: 5,5 diameter: 22cm
Notes
The 'Vernon' motif, which celebrates sunflowers, had a limited production window (1928-1947), making it a sought-after item for collectors.
Most opalescent pieces were made between 1925 and 1937. Opalescence is not a surface treatment but rather a chemical that is added to the glass itself, which causes it to change character in different light.
