This pre-owned Lalique vase is a classic piece and has come to be celebrated as a symbol of fine craftmanship as well as of grace and sensuality. It was handcrafted in France and designed by René Lalique in 1927.
This heavy vase has a frosted/satin and clear crystal finish. It stands 9.45" tall with a top opening diameter of 7.44" and a bottom/base diameter of 5.25 (H 24cm x D 18.9 cm).It weighs approx 14.3 lbs (6.5kg). There are ten different nude female figures in high relief parading around the vase.
This vase is in excellent condition. There are no signs of use. I'm not finding fleabites, chips, scuffs, bruises, hard water deposits. It is a pre-owned and previously displayed item, although I did not find any scratches it may have some evidence of use that has been overlooked. Since its original release, it has been a staple in the Lalique collection and has become a lasting symbol of Laliques celebrated style.
Lalique continues to manufacture and sell this item today. The Bacchantes vase has come to be an iconic Lalique design. There is a splendor and sensuality seldom captured in a work of art. The meticulous detailing, carved by hand, adds a playful use of light and dimension.Though marketed as a vase it can do double duty as a wine or champagne cooler.
