René Lalique Glass
Known for his more than 1,500 sensual glass objets d’art, decorative artist René Lalique (1860–1945) enjoyed an entirely different career before he realized his love of glass and gift for decorative glassware.
Born in the Marne region of France, Lalique was merely a teenager when he was invited to apprentice to well-known and -loved Parisian jeweler Louis Aucoc in 1876. Over the course of his training under Aucoc, Lalique also attended École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and eventually departed his apprenticeship to study at an art college in London. Within only a few years of returning to Paris, Lalique became one of the city’s most in-demand freelance jewelry designers, heralded for his Art Nouveau pieces and signing contracts with such jewelry houses as Cartier and Boucheron.
By 1886, Lalique had opened his own jewelry shop in France’s capital. Soon afterward, he opened another workshop, where he began to experiment with glass.
Growing bored with jewelry making, Lalique turned his attention to crafting small glass objects, including ashtrays, cachets, paperweights and vases, among others. These works are today recognized as significant contributions to the era’s flourishing Art Deco movement. In fact, in the early 1900s, Lalique officially established his eponymous glassworks business.
In addition to finding inspiration for his designs in the natural world, Lalique also looked to the female form. In fact, one of his most recognizable pieces, 1927’s Bacchantes vase, features an array of Bacchantes, mortal female followers of Dionysus in Greek mythology, engaged in an eroticized dance around the vase’s rim. The vase is still in production, almost 100 years after Lalique designed it.

Rene Lalique Mouettes Plate Exclusively Made for King George VI with Press Photo
By René Lalique
Located in Worcester Park, GB
Amazing Rene Lalique presentation plate - Mouettes - Commissioned by The City of Paris to be given to King George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother) in 1938 on the occasion of their first and only state visit to Paris. The only examples of this plate still reside in Clarence House -The last home of the Queen Mother -and a tiny number of display examples that were sent to the Rene Lalique shops (to show off and commemorate the presentation) -None were ever available for sale -this example came from The Breves Gallery in London -It was originally part of a window display in 1938 and was acquired from the grandson of an employee (who was given it - as they were not allowed to sell it). In addition there is an original Rene Lalique press release photograph of the presentation showing The King and Queen with various unknown French and English dignitaries (The man bowing may be President Lebrun of France) -The super rare original photograph is stamped on the reverse 'Reproduction Interdite' (Reproduction forbidden) -The plate is listed in the Lalique book by Marcilhac Page 698 (black edition) -under 'pieces unclassified' A.
