Lalique - Dish - Tourterelle - Crystal

Lalique France – Tourterelle – Ring Holder / Ring Tray in Satin Crystal – c. 1950–1977
Elegant ring holder or ring tray model Tourterelle, produced by Lalique France during the postwar period under the direction of Marc Lalique.
The piece depicts a delicate dove preening, executed in transparent and satin crystal, a technique characteristic of French manufacture. The figure rises on a circular base that functions as a small pocket or ring holder.
It retains the original Cristal Lalique Paris label and features the acid-etched signature "Lalique France" on the base.
The absence of the registered trademark symbol R, incorporated from 1978 in the brand’s modern markings, allows situating this piece within production prior to that date. Likewise, the exclusive use of the signature "Lalique France", without the initial "R", corresponds to the period after 1945 when Marc Lalique took over the company after the death of René Lalique.
Therefore, the most probable chronology for this piece is between 1950 and 1977.
