"tourbillons" Vase - Lalique France - Blue-patinated Crystal - Small Size
Artist: Lalique France
"Tourbillons" Vase, small model by Lalique France, crafted from colorless crystal with a blue patina.
Created in 1926, the "Tourbillons" model is characterized by a design of large, raised volutes, whose movement evokes the unfurling of a fern.
The contrast between the azure-blue patina and the polished crystal accentuates the depth of the design and the play of light.
The historical attribution of this model warrants clarification.
The catalog raisonné dedicated to René Lalique lists the “Tourbillons” vase under no. 973, also referred to as “relief volutes,” and indicates that the model was created on March 19, 1926.
The Lalique Museum, for its part, presents it as a work by René Lalique based on a drawing by his daughter Suzanne.
When asked directly about this, the House of Lalique clarified that the model was designed based on a drawing by Suzanne Lalique Haviland, René Lalique’s daughter, and today presents it as a creation by Suzanne.
This dual attribution can be explained by their respective roles:
Suzanne Lalique Haviland created the drawing, while René Lalique was responsible for the design and production of the model.
Historical examples thus bear the signature “R. Lalique,” corresponding to production from that era.
The catalog raisonné lists the original model as 20 cm tall, made of enameled pressed-molded white glass, and appears in the 1928 and 1932 catalogs as well as the 1937 price list. It was reissued in 1947 under reference number 2003 before being discontinued after 1951.
The piece I am offering corresponds to the small model, measuring 12.6 cm in height and 12.2 cm in diameter.
It features an azure blue patina, a finish once offered by Lalique France but no longer available in the current catalog.
This variation allows you to rediscover a version no longer found in the current collection.
Signed “Lalique France” on the base with the number T037
