This is a large René Lalique Hélianthe bowl, dating from the early 20th century. Hélianthe translates to Helianthus in English, the genus of daisy-like flowers that includes the Sunflower.
The bowl is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with a century of use.
The bowl is round, measuring 35 cm (14 inches) in diameter at the everted rim. The bowl is moulded in glass and is decorated with moulded flower fronds into the external surface, all highlighted in a pinkish stain. The bowl is 7 cm (2.8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. The bowl bears a ''R. LALIQUE FRANCE'' mark to the centre of the base.
It weighs in at 2.33 kg. (~ 5 lb. 2 oz.).
