Iridiscence tested using a black light as seen in the pictures René Jules Lalique was born in 1860 and was a glass designer, renowned for his stunning creations of perfume bottles, vases, jewellery, chandeliers, clocks, and, in the latter part of his life, automobile hood ornaments. The firm he founded is still active. At age 16, he apprenticed with the Parisian jeweller, Louis Aucoq. In 1882, he became a freelance designer for several top jewellery houses in Paris and four years later established his own jewellery workshop. By1890, Lalique was recognized as one of France's foremost Art Nouveau jewelery designers. He went on to be one of the most famous in his field, his name synonymous with creativity and quality. In the 1920s he also became famous for his work in the Art Deco style. Among other things he was responsible for the walls of lighted glass and the elegant glass columns which filled the dining room and grand salon of the SS Normandie. Recognized as one of the world's greatest glass makers and jewellery designers of the art Nouveau and art Deco periods, Rene Jules Lalique was an imaginative and creative artist in all his work. Lalique's early life was spent in many different types of artistic businesses, acting as apprentice and assistant. This heavily influenced the designs he used in his later life, including his emphasis on glass. He used the most modern and innovative manufacturing techniques and equipment available, allowing more than one glass piece to be made at a time while still looking hand made, which meant his quality jewellery was available to the general public. Please not in the interest of full disclosure, t is an approximate 1/4" chip along the base which is only superficial and is not spidered or cracked, although it does not detract from the beauty and stunning of this piece. This chip can be easily ground out and re-polished by a professional antique glass restorer which we can recommend to you but that would be entirely up to the new buyer. Please see close-up photo of the base by which we tried our best to photograph. Specifications: Material : French Green Glass Height : 6 3/4" Width : Approx 3 " Foundry / Signature : R.
