René Lalique Tournai Vase No.956 Sepia Patina Frosted Glass c1924 Signed France
An authentic René Lalique Tournai vase, model No. 956, first introduced in 1924. This elegant Art Deco design is one of Lalique's celebrated botanical creations, featuring tall, stylised leaf motifs in high relief that flow vertically around the body.

The subtle sepia patina enhances the relief work and makes this example especially attractive for display.
The vase is signed "R. Lalique France" moulded to the base, confirming its authenticity as an original period production.
