LALIQUE — Ring Dish “Carpe”
Colorless crystal, partially frosted, depicting a leaping carp at the center of a circular dish intended to receive rings. The subtle alternation of frosted and polished surfaces highlights the delicacy of the scales and the fluidity of the movement.

Created in the 1930s by René Lalique (1860-1945), this model testifies to the naturalistic inspiration that runs through his entire oeuvre. After establishing himself as the undisputed master of Art Nouveau jewelry, René Lalique revolutionizes glass art in the Art Deco era, combining sculpture and transparency in pieces of striking modernity. The Lalique house, founded in Paris, thus becomes a symbol of refinement and innovation, merging technical virtuosity with formal poetry.

The choice of the carp is not incidental: a universal motif, it embodies luck, perseverance and abundance. In Japanese culture, an important source of inspiration for Lalique and his contemporaries, the carp (koi) is also a symbol of courage and success in the face of adversity. This piece thus reflects not only the artistic excellence of the house, but also the symbolic depth that René Lalique knew how to infuse into his creations.
