Description:

RENE LALIQUE (FRENCH 1860-1945) A VILLARD FROSTED AND CLEAR MOLDED GLASS VASE, MODEL 10-896, SIGNED, CIRCA 1936, of half oval form and sides centering a textured pylon form panel flanked by receding up curved bands with serrated edges, underside centering "R. LALIQUE" above "FRANCE." Height: 7 1/4" Width: 12 3/4" Depth: 3 3/4" Note: This vase is a unique manifestation of Rene Lalique's love of nature and is strongly reminiscent of the Saguaro cactus found in Mexico and the American Southwest with its up curved prickly arms and strong central trunk. One can also see elements of Aztec art/architecture which René Lalique was well aware of and probably influenced by when designing the Villard vase as well as other glass items in the 1930s.    

  • Condition: Good condition for Renee Lalique period glass vases with normal light scratches and wear on base underside and a tiny chip on two opposing corners of base but otherwise good shape.   Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
