This is a decorative plate from the 1920s Art Deco period designed by Rene Lalique. Made from opalescent glass, the circular piece displays an opalescent blue hue with clear and milky white translucent tones. The central motif comprises six relief-moulded swimming water nymphs encircled by swirling water and bubbles, all rendered in high relief against a transparent background. A wheel-cut mark reading R Lalique France is visible on the surface. The piece has light scratches to the centre and exhibits a slightly irregular circular profile from the manufacturing process. Measuring 27.5 cm wide, the plate is displayed upright on a clear plastic stand in the photograph, supported by a vertical backing piece and two transparent feet. In a modern home, this decorative plate sits on top of a sideboard as a display object or decorative art piece.

FAQs

Designed by Rene Lalique in the 1920s, the Ondines motif depicts swirling water nymphs moulded in relief on press-moulded art glass. The opalescent effect creates a distinctive milky blue luminescence as light passes through the glass.

Opalescent glass was produced by incorporating specific chemical compounds, such as bone ash or fluorides, into the molten glass mixture. Controlled cooling and reheating caused localized crystallisation, resulting in a dual-colour shift from warm amber to translucent blue depending on light reflection.

Authentic period pieces typically feature wheel-carved, moulded, or acid-etched signatures such as R. LALIQUE or R. LALIQUE FRANCE. Genuine opalescent glass from this era exhibits crisp relief detailing, flawless finishing, and smooth polishing around rims and foot rings.

Position the plate on a display stand near a natural light source or inside an illuminated cabinet to highlight its glowing opalescence. Pair it with dark timber, brass accents, or marble surfaces to create visual contrast.

Wash delicate art glass by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges or harsh chemical solvents. Dry thoroughly with a soft microfibre cloth and store away from extreme temperature fluctuations.
