This Art Deco paperweight takes the sculpted form of a sparrow in profile, produced in frosted moulded glass with a frosted white colour palette. The bird is depicted with its head tilted upwards, featuring intricate feather relief detail across its wings and back, rounded breast contours, and a smooth integrated rectangular base beneath. Visible mould lines run along the glass surface, while the frosted finish catches the light against the clear highlights of the sculpted feathers. Measuring 8.5 cm high, the object sits suitably upon an office desk or library table as a decorative accessory for daily use. It functions practically to hold down loose papers while serving as an ornamental display piece within a study, living room or workspace.

FAQs

During the 1920s and 1930s, Rene Lalique transitioned from jewellery making to master glassmaker, producing iconic Art Deco pressed and moulded glass sculptures, car mascots, and paperweights. Bird motifs were a signature theme, reflecting the naturalistic influences of the movement rendered in stylized, geometric forms.

These pieces were created using heavy demi-crystal glass pressed into multi-part metal moulds. A combination of satin-acid etching, frosting, and polished relief highlights was applied to create visual contrast between light and shade.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-etched, wheel-cut, or moulded signatures such as R. LALIQUE FRANCE. Genuine examples exhibit high-density glass clear of modern bubbles, precise mould seam polishing, and specific model proportions corresponding to historical catalogue numbers.

Small glass sculptures provide visual texture when positioned on structured surfaces such as an office desk, mantelpiece, or styled atop a stack of art books. Lighting the piece from behind or above highlights the translucency and relief details of the frosted finish.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth. For cleaning, hand wash gently in tepid water with a mild, non-abrasive dish soap, avoiding harsh chemical sprays or abrasive pads that could scratch the acid-etched frosted surface.
