This Lalique French Crystal Amber Filicaria Vase is a genuine piece with the signature of Rene Lalique. Hand-blown with a frosted finish, this medium-sized vase features an ellipse shape and vibrant amber color. Perfect for all occasions, this vase is adorned with crystals and embodies the artistry of French glassmaking technique. It is a unique and elegant addition to any adult's department, making it a valuable collectible item for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and exquisite design.
The renowned French glassmaker René Lalique founded his namesake house in the late nineteenth century, revolutionizing the art of jewelry before turning his immense talent entirely to decorative art glass in the 1920s. His masterpieces became synonymous with the sleek elegance of the Art Deco movement, utilizing techniques that juxtaposed clear crystal with contrasting frosted surfaces. Following his passing, the Wingen-sur-Moder manufactory continued his legacy by producing exceptional lead crystal objects that maintained the firm's exacting standards of craftsmanship.
The Filicaria pattern, featuring overlapping fern fronds carved in relief, exemplifies the firm's enduring fascination with organic, botanical forms derived from the French countryside. Each piece requires a complex multi-step process involving hot casting, acid etching, and meticulous hand-polishing to achieve the signature satin-finished contrast against the transparent colored body. These small decorative vessels remain highly sought after by collectors of luxury post-war art glass for their sculptural purity and brilliant coloration.
