Rene Lalique Actinia Plate

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Solo Antiques
Description

Rene Lalique Actinia plate. A 20th Century Art Deco French opalescent glass plate decorated with a design of sea anenomes. Actinia striata is an aolitary sea anemone found only in very shallow waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The plate has a vibrant opalescence which enhances this beautiful design. Acid etched signature to the underside R Lalique France . Marcilhac number 10-391.First designed 1933. Excellent original condition

Rene Lalique 1880-1945 Rene Lalique was born a rural 19th century man in a pre-industrialized Europe. It was a time before light bulbs, and telephones, before automobiles and washing machines and electricity. But by the time of his death in 1945 at the dawn of the atomic age, he would have completed two careers spanning two different centuries. In 1900 at the age of 40, he was the most celebrated jeweller in the world and an art nouveau artist and designer of magnificent proportions. But by 1925 at the height of the art deco era he was the most celebrated glassmaker in the world. In between Lalique would leave his contemporaries behind as he turned from creating unique jewellery and objects d’art, to the mass production of innovative and usable art glass. He brought glass into the home of everyday people where it had never been before, and he worked out the industrial techniques to mass produce his useful art glass objects on a scale and cost to complement the spreading industrial revolution and resulting worldwide appeal.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Designed during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s, Rene Lalique utilised innovative press-moulding techniques to produce decorative glassware featuring stylized organic and marine motifs, such as the Actinia pattern.

Opalescent glass was crafted by adding chemical agents like bone ash or fluorides to the molten glass batch, which reacted to targeted reheating and cooling to produce a translucent, iridescent milky-blue hue.

Authentic pieces typically feature moulded, acid-etched, or wheel-carved signatures such as R. LALIQUE FRANCE, alongside crisp moulding details and balanced distribution of opalescence throughout the glass.

Display the piece on a dark wood console table, a metal plate display stand, or within a glass cabinet where ambient backlighting can highlight its translucent properties and relief detail.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and mild dish soap with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical solvents, abrasive pads, and sudden thermal shocks.
