This beautiful Equus vase, carved in pure crystal, embodies the "savoir-faire" and the unique expertise of Lalique glass-masters who ensure the esteemed ‘Lalique France’ signature endures as a statement of authenticity, quality and luxury, respected and admired by discerning connoisseurs worldwide. 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.
