René Lalique Lievres Hares Vase No.942 Opalescent Glass c1923 Signed France
René Lalique "Lievres" (Hares) Vase No. 942, first introduced in December 1923, is a beautiful example of René Lalique's mastery of Art Deco glass design. This sought-after model features a continuous frieze of finely moulded hares racing through stylised foliage, perfectly capturing movement and the beauty of nature. The rounded, globe-shaped body and elegant flared neck create a harmonious silhouette, while the opalescent finish displays an attractive blue-white glow that changes beautifully under different lighting conditions.
The intricate relief decoration is exceptionally crisp, highlighting Lalique's remarkable ability to combine sculpture with functional decorative art. The opalescent glass enhances every detail, giving the hares and foliage a luminous, almost ethereal quality that has made this model one of the most admired designs from the early 1920s.
Produced in France and signed "R. Lalique France," the Lievres vase remains highly desirable among collectors due to its artistic significance, relatively limited production, and timeless Art Deco appeal. It is equally suited to display as a standalone work of art or as a centrepiece within an important Lalique collection.
This example presents in very good vintage condition with attractive opalescence throughout. The moulded decoration remains sharp and well defined. Please examine the photographs carefully as they form part of the condition description.
