This René Lalique opalescent Coquilles bowl no. 5 stems from the 1920s Art Deco period and is formed from pressed glass with an opalescent blue hue. The circular vessel displays a flat top rim, a wheel cut mark reading R Lalique France, and an engraved model number 3204. Four sculpted seashell motifs project outward from the centre, accompanied by a repeating linear grid pattern across the interior and a four-foot support base on the underside. The dimensions measure 5.5 cm high by 13 cm wide. Place this decorative bowl on a sideboard top in a living room or dining area to hold small items or display as an authentic period accent.

FAQs

Art Deco opalescent glass, popularized in the 1920s by makers such as Rene Lalique, features stylized geometric or naturalistic motifs cast in semi-translucent glass that reacts dynamically to changing light conditions.

This glass is produced by introducing mineral additives like bone ash or fluoride compounds into molten glass, which react during differential cooling to create milky, light-refracting opalescence.

Authentic period pieces typically feature wheel-engraved or moulded signatures such as R. LALIQUE, crisp relief detailing, and a distinctive blue or amber hue shift in translucent areas under light.

Position the bowl on a dark wood sideboard, marble mantelpiece, or illuminated display cabinet to highlight its opalescent refractions and sculptural design.

Clean gently using warm water and a mild liquid soap with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, and sudden temperature fluctuations.
