This Art Deco decorative bowl comes from the 1930 period, designed by Rene Lalique as the Cacao opalescent bowl No3, also known as model 3256 from Marcilhac page 756. Made from opalescent glass, the circular piece displays an opalescent blue colour with a clear centre and rim. Relief moulding forms a radial pattern of cacao pods arranged in concentric tiers around the interior wall, creating a textured visual effect. The condition is good, showing a few light surface scratches on the material. Measuring 6.7 cm high and 18.3 cm wide, the bowl sits upright supported by clear plastic display stands. Placed on a sideboard top, the bowl serves as a distinctive decorative accent for an interior setting, suitable for display in living areas, dining rooms, or cabinets where collectors gather fine glass objects.

FAQs

Produced primarily during the 1920s and 1930s in France, Rene Lalique opalescent glass is distinguished by its translucent, milky blue appearance created by adding specific compounds during the formulation and cooling process. The designs feature raised relief motifs inspired by nature, foliage, and geometric Art Deco patterns.

The glass was crafted using mould-pressed techniques, where molten glass was pressed into intricate metal moulds to form detailed relief designs. Controlled cooling rates and chemical compositions produced the signature opalescent hue where the glass is thickest.

Authentic pieces usually feature an etched, moulded, or wheel-cut signature, such as R. LALIQUE or R. LALIQUE FRANCE, typically positioned near the centre or base edge. Genuine items exhibit precise relief detail, notable weight, and smooth finishing without sharp mould seams.

Displaying opalescent glass on a sideboard or open shelving where light passes through highlights the blue and warm amber tones. It functions effectively as a standalone accent piece on dark wood or polished stone surfaces.

Wash gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild dish detergent, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or dishwashers. Dry thoroughly with a soft microfibre cloth to prevent water spot accumulation and protect the surface finish.
