About this Item
French 1860-1945
René Lalique 'Prunes' opalescent, clear and frosted glass vase, No. 1037, designed 1930
wheel-engraved 'R. LALIQUE'
press-moulded glass
height: 18cm; diameter: 21cm
Notes
This vase was designed at the height of Lalique's opalescent period. Opalescent glass is clear or frosted glass that appears milky or luminous when light passes through it. It is not a surface-applied technique; the effect comes from the glass composition itself.
Illustrated in the 1932 catalogue, discontinued after 1947.
