Lalique France Crystal Sparrow Ring Dish, 20th Century

Description :

An elegant French crystal ring dish by Lalique, featuring a charming frosted sparrow perched at the center of a shallow circular clear crystal dish. The contrast between the transparent polished crystal and the softly satin-finished bird is characteristic of Lalique’s celebrated approach to decorative crystal, combining naturalistic subjects with refined sculptural forms.

The sparrow is modeled with outstretched wings and delicately rendered plumage, creating a lively three-dimensional silhouette when viewed from different angles. It rises from a small molded clear crystal pedestal at the center of the dish, while the gently raised circular rim provides a practical surface for holding rings, earrings, pins or other small pieces of jewelry.

The underside bears the script “Lalique France” signature, visible in the photographs. Designed as both a decorative object and a functional jewelry dish, this petite piece is particularly attractive displayed on a dressing table, bedside table or among a collection of French crystal.

A refined and highly decorative example of Lalique’s enduring fascination with birds and the natural world. Comparable examples of this Sparrow ring/pin dish are documented as French Lalique production from the later 20th century.
