Notes
This 'Jaffa' series was created at the height of the Art Deco period. The radiating 'citrus segment' references the Jaffa orange groves around the ancient port of Jaffa in Israel. The motif reflects Lalique's interest in blending stylised natural forms with repetitive geometries and rhythmic radiating patterns.
This series was produced for a very short period between 1932 and 1937 and discontinued after 1947. Every example is, therefore, genuine René Lalique pre-war production, making it rare and collectable.
