This circular decorative plate comes from the Art Deco period and is made from opalescent glass in shades of blue. The design shows six relief-moulded swimming female figures radiating around a smooth central dome, accompanied by swirling water lines and tiny bubbles across the surface. The rim displays a pale blue tone, while the central well catches the light with a deeper blue iridescence. A wheel cut mark reads R Lalique France alongside the engraved model number 3003 on the surface. Minor scratches appear upon close inspection, reflecting the history of the object. The piece measures 26.5 cm wide in practical terms. It functions well as an ornamental display item placed on top of a sideboard in a living room, dining room or hallway.

Art Deco opalescent glass is distinguished by its milky, light-refracting quality and structural relief patterns. Developed prominently in France during the 1920s, it often features stylised figurative, floral, or geometric motifs pressed directly into the glass.

Opalescent glass was produced by introducing chemical compounds such as bone ash or fluorine to the glass batch. Controlled heating and cooling caused these agents to crystallise, creating translucent, iridescent hues that react dynamically to ambient light.

Authentic Rene Lalique pieces typically feature precise, high-relief moulding and specific moulded or acid-etched signatures, such as R. LALIQUE or R. LALIQUE FRANCE. Post-1945 productions omitted the R. initial, making the signature style a key indicator of era.

Opalescent glass pieces serve as effective accent elements when placed on dark wood sideboards, polished stone consoles, or illuminated display shelves, allowing backlighting to highlight the internal fire and subtle colour variations.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and mild detergent, employing a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, extreme temperature changes, and dishwasher usage to prevent thermal shock or surface scratching.
