This Art Deco paperweight takes the form of an opalescent glass statuette of a naiad or mermaid. Created around 1920, the piece is moulded in frosted, semi-translucent glass with milky white and pale blue tones that catch the light. The figural sculpture depicts a female figure with detailed hair and a scaly serpentine tail, holding her hands near her face while seated atop a stepped circular base. The body includes a moulded signature mark. Scaling 13 cm high and 6.5 cm wide, the compact sculpture functions as a decorative desk accessory or tabletop paperweight in a study, office, or living room.

FAQs

Designed during the 1920s and 1930s, Lalique car mascots were moulded glass sculptures created to mount onto automobile radiator caps as decorative hood ornaments or display as desk paperweights.

Opalescent glass is produced by adding specific chemical compounds, such as bone ash or fluorine, into the molten glass batch, which scatter light and create a blue and amber chromatic shift upon cooling.

Original pieces typically feature precise moulded detail, sharp definition in the figure, smooth hand-finishing, and moulded or wheel-cut signatures such as R. LALIQUE or R. LALIQUE FRANCE.

Opalescent glass items perform best when placed near a light source, such as on a window sill, glass-top table, or illuminated shelving unit, allowing light to highlight the internal colour changes.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a small amount of mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive cloths or extreme temperature changes that could cause thermal shock to the glass.
