The original Fish in glass was designed in 1913 by René Lalique and has become an important and iconic piece in the Lalique universe. It first appeared in turquoise and has been re-issued in an extensive palette of colored crystal, meant to mix and match in the Lalique aquarium. Lalique now presents a gold luster version, luminous and iridescent. 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.
