About this Item
France 1860-1945
René Lalique 'Domrémy' opalescent and clear glass vase with silver hallmarked collar, No.979, designed 1926
engraved script 'R.Lalique France No.979'
mould-blown glass
height: 21cm; diameter: 18cm
Notes
This vase is also called 'Chardons', meaning thistles in French.
It appeared in the 1928 catalogue and was not reissued after 1947, making it a 'closed model'. All examples are therefore pre-war and limited to the original production era of René Lalique.
The silver neck collar is unusual and not a standard factory option found in the catalogues. It was likely a commission for a high-end client wanting to elevate the object into a unique piece.
