Lalique “Biches” Crystal Vase – France

Designed by René Lalique in 1932 (model 1082), later production

Beautiful clear and frosted crystal vase by Lalique, featuring the classic “Biches” (Does / Hinds) design. The entire body is decorated in high relief with elegant female deer standing and grazing among dense foliage and trees. The motif is rendered in soft satin-frosted glass against a clearer background, creating a luminous, sculptural effect typical of Lalique’s Art Deco style.

The vase has a softly rounded, slightly tapering form with a short cylindrical neck and a modest foot.

Condition
The underside of the base shows some tiny scratches, along with two slightly deeper scratches (approximately 2 cm long and visible in the photographs). Inside the vase there is a light, unknown-coloured residual stain. It has been cleaned with plain water only; no chemical cleaners have been used in order to avoid any risk of damaging the crystal.
