Lalique Crystal Martinets Large Vase Frosted Sparrows Raised Relief Small Nick:
$989.00

Lalique\'s MARTINETS vase, beautiful and HEAVY at nearly 10 pounds of gorgeous French crystal, was designed with a frosted raised relief pattern of little martinets or swallows on a clear crystal thick prismatic base. Measures just under 10\" in height, 6.5 diameter across the top. Has a very small, nearly unnoticeable nick to the exterior rim that one would nearly miss unless running fingertips along the edge. The photos picked it with close-ups and I both circled it and drew an arrow to highlight it in the photos. SEE ALL 22 PHOTOS! This is 97% perfection and SO gorgeous. It\'s well known that the flora and fauna of the world was René LALIQUE\'s major inspiration for their designs, other than the female form. He imagined a wide variety of animal species and foliage, all with a degree of naturalism that demonstrated true genius in crystal. These Martinets, or little swallows, provided inspiration for René Lalique in designing his loveliest works in figurines and bottles. This beautiful Lalique Vase is a must have for true collectors. Very detailed with a pattern of martinet birds. Very clean exterior but base/bottom has some surface scratches. It is signed Lalique France at base. The estate who consigned this to me has many older crystal pieces, and this was in a display case with 4 other similar sized older vases like Malaga, Gentiane, and some Coquilles or Coquille items. This is a beauty.
