He pursued increasingly more innovative experientation in glass commencing around 1883. During the Art Nouveau period, Lalique was well known for a wide variety of objects including perfume bottles, vases, inkwells, decorative boxes, and bookends. In 1921 a larger factory was established at Wingen-sur-Moder in Alsace-Lorraine. By the 1930s, Rene Lalique was world renowned as the most important designer of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLalique glass is lead based, either mold blown or pressed. Characteristically the glass is crystal in combination with acid-etched relief. Later some items were made in as many as ten colours (red, amber, and green among them) and were occasionally accented with enamelling. During the ’20s and ’30s, Lalique designed several vases and bowls developing a line in the Art Deco style decorated with stylized birds, flowers, and geometric motifs drawing much from the influence of mother nature. Most glass was clear or opalescent and engraved or moulded with the “R. Lalique” signature. This signature was only used until 1945 with the death of Rene. At that time, Rene Lalique’s son Marc took over the company and the signature dropped the ‘R’ to become ‘\u003cem\u003eLalique ~ France\u003c\/em\u003e’.

He chose them for their power, light and colour, whether they were precious or not. He combined gold and gemstones with semi-precious stones, mother-of-pearl, ivory and horn, in addition to enamel and glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1888, René Lalique registered his “RL” stamp and engraved the unique pieces created in his workshop with these letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“For a number of years he concentrated exclusively on fine jewellery, on bright and lustrous parures sparkling with diamonds.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHenri Vever, French jeweller, author and collector\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1890 | The transition from jewellery to enamel and glass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRené Lalique’s work had gained wide-spread popularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe now opened his third workshop at 20, Rue Thérèse in Paris.

He won competitions, exhibited his work and created jewellery for well-known entertainers such as actress Sarah Bernhardt. His desire to “create something that had never been seen before” earned him the accolade of “inventor of modern jewellery”. He revolutionised jewellery styles of the period, becoming a favourite with leading socialites, and was admired by the most distinguished of his fellow-jewellers.

Perfumer François Coty was so impressed by René’s designs that he asked him to put his talent to work for the perfume industry. Their collaboration had begun! Their work together revolutionised the perfume industry and made it possible for the first time to offer perfumes in attractive bottles at affordable prices.

Initially a celebrated Art Nouveau jeweler, Lalique transitioned to glassmaking in the early 20th century, where he left a lasting legacy.

Unlike the ornate, nature-inspired flourishes of Art Nouveau, his Art Deco works featured cleaner lines, geometric patterns, and stylized motifs. However, his fascination with the natural world—especially flora, fauna, and the female form—remained a recurring theme. Birds, nudes, flowers, and animals were frequently depicted with a new modern clarity, often in symmetrical or repetitive designs that epitomised the Art Deco style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLalique revolutionised glassmaking by mastering the use of mold-pressed glass, a technique that allowed for detailed surface textures and a level of repetition that made his work more widely available while still retaining artistic quality. He experimented with frosted, opalescent, and colored glass, enhancing the tactile and visual appeal of his creations. His use of contrasting matte and polished finishes added depth and sophistication, making even mass-produced pieces feel luxurious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong his most famous Art Deco works are perfume bottles, vases, car mascots (hood ornaments), and dining sets. Perfume bottles made for Coty and other luxury brands exemplified the union of fine design and practical function. Lalique’s vases, such as the \"Bacchantes\" or \"Formose\" designs, displayed his technical mastery and imaginative vision. His car mascots—crystal representations of animals, nudes, and birds—were mounted on luxury automobiles and remain iconic collectibles today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat set Lalique apart was his ability to blur the boundaries between fine art and commercial design.

Unlike the ornate, nature-inspired flourishes of Art Nouveau, his Art Deco works featured cleaner lines, geometric patterns, and stylized motifs. However, his fascination with the natural world—especially flora, fauna, and the female form—remained a recurring theme. Birds, nudes, flowers, and animals were frequently depicted with a new modern clarity, often in symmetrical or repetitive designs that epitomised the Art Deco style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLalique revolutionised glassmaking by mastering the use of mold-pressed glass, a technique that allowed for detailed surface textures and a level of repetition that made his work more widely available while still retaining artistic quality. He experimented with frosted, opalescent, and colored glass, enhancing the tactile and visual appeal of his creations. His use of contrasting matte and polished finishes added depth and sophistication, making even mass-produced pieces feel luxurious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong his most famous Art Deco works are perfume bottles, vases, car mascots (hood ornaments), and dining sets. Perfume bottles made for Coty and other luxury brands exemplified the union of fine design and practical function. Lalique’s vases, such as the \"Bacchantes\" or \"Formose\" designs, displayed his technical mastery and imaginative vision. His car mascots—crystal representations of animals, nudes, and birds—were mounted on luxury automobiles and remain iconic collectibles today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat set Lalique apart was his ability to blur the boundaries between fine art and commercial design. He brought beauty to everyday objects, democratising luxury through innovative production while maintaining the highest standards of artistry.

The only way to accomplish this was to begin mass production of stemware, tableware, inkwells, clocks and vases. At the height of production, Lalique employed 600 people in his glass factories. These skilful artisans created millions of pieces of glassware, many “personalised” with highlight polishing, frosting and glazing for a trademark presentation of individualized attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA contemporary invention of his day, the automobile, began to enamour the creative mind of Lalique. Prior to WWI, the artist created bas-relief silver and bronze ‘Targa’ gift plates for winners of the famous Targa Florio races in 1906. Vincenzo Florio commissioned Lalique to design a trophy for the prestigious event. Lalique created a work that anyone would be proud to win; he captured the image of the driver and mechanic speeding down a country road bordered by flowers and birds in flight with the “sky suggested in blue enamel.” By 1920, Lalique envisioned a new goal for the automobile: an empirical decoration on the front hood, elevating glass artistic design above the metallic standard in the mascot. Once a thermometer sat on the radiator simply to measure water temperature; Lalique now proposed elegant, artistic presentation over such mere functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1925, André Citroën’s company was a primary sponsor and exhibitor for the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris. The motoring magnate rented the Eiffel Tower and had thousands of lights artfully attached to the structure. At night, the double chevron emblem and name “Citroen” was an extraordinary sight seen by millions of people in “The City of Lights.” Knowing he would be displaying his company’s Citroën 5CV, Citroën commissioned Lalique to create glass mascots that could be mounted on the radiator of the car. Citroen wanted the mascots to feature five prancing horses. Thus was born Lalique’s fifth mascot, “Cinq Chevaux.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe success of the Citroën mascots exposed his unique talent to an entirely new audience. During the next seven years, Lalique created a total of 27 mascots, symbolizing energy, speed and motion; religion; individuality and form of nature; and human sensuality and sexuality—each expressing the grace and details of human and animal forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mascots were created in high-quality glass with a clear, frosted or satin finish. Some were tinted in amethyst and pink, while others were highlighted minimally with subtle colours. Lalique marked his work, as a general practice, with “R. Lalique” followed by the word “France.” The signature clearly marks the base through moulding, etching, script, print sandblasting or a curved design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLalique immediately saw the opportunity to draw attention to his mascots by lighting the glass sculpture from underneath its base. A small bulb was connected to provide the illumination. Lalique fashioned filters for placement between the bulb and base of the glass sculpture; this allowed colour changes to red, blue, green, amber or mauve. The idea was novel and stylish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to demand, the artist contracted with the Breves Gallery of London, England to assist with the design and development of the mascot mounting process, as well as with sales in Great Britain and overseas. Breves devised mounts in small and large sizes. In a 1929 advertisement, Breves called Lalique “the greatest living artist in glass design” and offered the mascots either “lighted or unlighted” which “easily fitted on the scuttle or radiator cap.” Breves designers knew that mounting an expensive glass mascot onto the hood was a difficult task. To avoid damaging the glass base, a rubber washer was formed to allow the mascot to sit snugly on the base. The mascot could be tightened yet remain unharmed. Once the automobile was in motion, however, a tightly-fitted mascot was subject to damage or chipping by bumps, road debris, weather conditions, rocks and wind pressure. For the loosely-fitted mascot, wind pressure from high speed, an accident or screeching halt usually sent the mascot flying into space. Also, the heat generated from the bulb inside the mascot and the engine weakened it structurally. Such conditions remain the primary reason that so few original Lalique mascots exist today. Even the finest mountings possible survived little more than a few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoon, Lalique mascots adorned the hoods of Bentley, Bugatti, Hispano-Suiza, Isotta-Fraschini, Mercedes-Benz and other stylish automobile marques of the day. The mascots, like his other objets des arts, became globally recognized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo view more René Lalique items like the Tête D’Aigle on our website\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hickmet.myshopify.com\/collections\/rene-lalique\" title=\"Rene Lalique Antique Glass\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eclick here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LALIQUE, RENÉ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46970636370156,"sku":"6790","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2614\/8594\/files\/RLaliqueTeted_Aigle6790_01_ef05537f-38d6-4246-aa60-801243d7d429_clipped_rev_2_jpeg.jpg?v=1764157712"},{"product_id":"rene-lalique-ormeaux-vase-6819_01","title":"\"Ormeaux Vase\" by René Lalique","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA very fine F\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erench \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Art Deco Sculptures - Antique Sculptures\" href=\"https:\/\/hickmet.myshopify.com\/collections\/art-deco\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eArt Deco\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e frosted and stained glass vase decorated with raised leaf design exhibting excellent colour \u0026amp; detail,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e signed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca title=\"Lalique, Rene - Artist - Hickmet Fine Arts\" href=\"https:\/\/hickmet.myshopify.com\/collections\/vendors?q=LALIQUE%2C%20REN%C3%89\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eR.Lalique\u003c\/a\u003e France\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eOrmeaux\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatalogue Number: 984\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSignature Identification: “R.
