In Scotland a Lady visited a Car Boot Sale and came away with the best bargain of the year.
She spent £1 and took home a 5 inch high Lalique Feuilles Fougeres Vase from 1929.
I think she will be visiting the Dumfries car boot sale again.
The vase sold for £32,450 at Christies Auction.
I've been telling people for ages that you can find French Glass at car boot sales - looks like someone is reading my blog !
Art Nouveau Lamps
Art Nouveau Lamps
by ALL Art Nouveau Glass artists.
Rene Lalique made many beautiful lamps and so successful were these that at that time that many of his rival glassmakers copied them.
Although most of these are equally beautiful,they are not usually as valuable as Lalique lamps.
The other main maker of Lamps was Daum Art Nouveau Lamps and their speciality was Pate de Verre Lamps.These sometimes contain pressed mouldings which were affixed at the time of manufacture.
Both of these makers were widely copied at the time (and are still being copied to the present day)
The Basic Designs show flowing rounded forms with elegant designs and mingling colours tastefully blended into each other.
Because of the large number of glassmakers at the time it is easy to confuse smaller makers who actually did produce their own beautiful Lamps but usually did not sign them.
Both Lalique and Daum signed their work .
Please be aware that Fake Lalique Art Nouveau lamps do exist and are made currently in Czech Republic,Hungary and elsewhere .
Always get a written assurance of Authenticity.
Bacchantes Vase
The Bacchantes Vase by Rene Lalique is one of the most collectible pieces of Art Nouveau Glassware in existence.
It is also one of the most familiar.
Bacchantes is available in several colours and finishes and is still being sold today by the Lalique Company and their authorised outlets.
.Antique versions are much more valuable
This Beautiful Vase was designed by Rene Lalique on July 22, 1927 and has been in production at the Lalique glassworks ever since.
It includes full length neo-classical female nudes.
Bacchantes is a true representation of Laliques abilities as a sculptor.
Bacchantes has a chiseled effect in the background and this gives a sculptural quality to the figures.
It is not only pleasing to the eye but also to the touch.
The Bacchantes vase is one of the best known of Laliques pieces
Lalique produced a number of delightful vases depicting nudes but this one has remained a firm favourite with Lalique Collectors
Here are our Current examples of the Bacchantes Vase:
