Height 5 in., Width 3.5 in., Depth 3.5 in. Weight 15 oz. Signed. This art glass vase signed Lalique France comprises a broad spherical frosted body densely covered in overlapping comma-shaped leaf or petal forms in shallow relief, surmounted by a tall cylindrical clear neck decorated with upward-sweeping grass blade forms and finished with a flat everted rim -- the interplay between the frosted satin body and the clear polished neck creating the characteristic visual contrast that is the hallmark of Lalique mould-blown glass. The form and decoration are consistent with several documented Lalique foliate vase patterns including the Malesherbes pattern No. 1014 and related botanical designs produced under both Rene Lalique and his son Marc Lalique through the mid-20th century, following the firms celebrated trajectory from Renes revolutionary 1909 glassworks at Combs-la-Ville through the prestige commissions of the 1930s including the SS Normandie ocean liner interior decorations of 1935. The Lalique signature is widely forged on Czech and other reproduction glass -- specialist verification of the base signature form, acid-stamp or script-engraving quality and any associated pattern number is strongly recommended before purchase, as authentication will significantly affect the estimate. Condition is very good with no chips or cracks visible and the frosted surface undimmed.
