Ombelles Vase

The Umbels Vase features the design of slender flowers bending in a breeze. The satin finished crystal and modern shape of the vase perfectly convey the feeling of the gentle motion. 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.
