The “Wingen” barware service is named after the village in Alsace where the Lalique Manufacture has been perpetuating its exceptional know-how. René Lalique had already designed a stemware service with the same name in the 1920’, with a similar pattern. Displayed in a rhythmic rigor, the graphic lines in satin-finished crystal - emblematic of Lalique – exhibit a timeless elegance. Trained as a jeweler at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in the late 1880's, Rene Lalique gained recognition as an independent designer for some of the era's great jewelry houses including Cartier and Boucheron. Eventually, he turned to glassmaking, and his techniques were a triumph for the Art Deco movement. Every piece of Lalique is finely detailed and produced by hand in Alsace, France.
