Fish Sculpture Opalescent

The original Fish in glass was designed in 1913 by René Lalique and since become an important and iconic piece in the Lalique collection. It is now issued in a wide range of colors including this complex opalescent crystal. 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.
