Lalique Glass

The renowned glass and crystal firm Lalique takes its name from that of the artist René Lalique (1860-1945), a jeweler and sculptor in France who became one of the world’s leading art glass designers. The young René Lalique became interested in glass as an artistic medium when he was in his thirties. He rented his first glassworks near Fontainebleau in 1909, and over the next thirty years, Lalique developed materials and technologies that would go on to influence glass-makers the world over. He was the master-designer of the art deco period. René Lalique’s works were imitated in Britain and Europe, as well as in the United States. At the Paris Exposition des Art Decoratifs et Industriels in 1925, Lalique earned numerous medals and exhibited his glass under a marquee announcing glass in what was the ‘new style’ of the day. All Lalique glass is marked; early works, marked simply ‘R. Lalique” are distinguished from later pieces made after 1945, which are marked ‘Lalique’ or ‘Lalique, France’. Lalique’s opalescent glass was extremely popular as it displays pressed sculptural motifs, beautifully outlined with a light blue color, contrasted with a subtle amber color when held against the light.
