This Art Deco vase stems from the 1920 period and stands as a decorative example of opalescent glass craft. The vessel takes the form of a tapered body finished with an everted rim at the top and a circular base below. Surface decoration includes high relief carvings of budgerigars perched upon branches against a foliate background, highlighted with blue staining within the glass recesses. Additional visible details comprise subtle wheel-cut marks and a factory production mould line on the lower section. The piece measures 24 cm high and rests appropriately upon a sideboard top within a contemporary living room interior.

FAQs

Rene Lalique revolutionised decorative glassmaking during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s by introducing industrial press-moulding techniques combined with artistic hand-finishing. His opalescent creations gained international acclaim for their translucent, fiery visual quality and intricate relief patterns.

This type of vessel was crafted using press-moulded glass infused with chemical compounds such as bone ash or arsenic to achieve opalescence. Once cooled, hand-applied patinas or coloured stains were rubbed into the recessed relief details to accentuate the carved motifs.

Authentic pieces typically bear a moulded or wheel-cut R. LALIQUE signature, often accompanied by a specific model number. Experts also examine the quality of the glass moulding, the precision of the high-relief carving, and the specific composition of the original coloured staining.

Displaying opalescent glass near a natural light source allows light to pass through the material, highlighting its shift between blue and warm amber tones. It functions effectively as a standalone decorative accent on a wooden sideboard, console table, or mantlepiece.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a soft cloth without harsh chemical detergents or abrasive scrubbers, which can remove delicate surface patinas. Avoid immersing the piece completely or using hot water to prevent thermal shock to the glass structure.
