René Lalique Poissons Vase No. 925 Opalescent Glass c1921 Signed R. Lalique
René Lalique "Poissons" vase, Model No. 925, designed in 1921 and executed in beautiful opalescent moulded glass. Widely regarded as one of René Lalique's finest Art Deco creations, the Poissons vase features a continuous arrangement of large tropical fish in bold frosted relief encircling the spherical body. The exceptional sculptural modelling of the fish, combined with the luminous opalescent glass, creates an ever-changing display of light and depth from every angle.
Introduced during Lalique's most innovative period, the Poissons vase perfectly demonstrates his fascination with the natural world and his revolutionary approach to decorative glassmaking. The dynamic fish motifs, finely engraved scales, flowing fins and rounded form embody the elegance of French Art Deco design and remain among the most sought-after works produced by René Lalique.
This example is finished in classic opalescent glass with frosted relief decoration and is signed "R. Lalique France" to the underside. The vase displays beautifully, with excellent opalescence and crisp moulding throughout. The Poissons vase appears in the major René Lalique reference works and has achieved strong results at leading international auction houses, reflecting its enduring desirability among collectors.
