Lalique - Box (2) - Dahlia - Crystal - Dahlia box No. 1, shelf No. 4

The storage box is a Lalique "Dahlia" powder box (poudreuse) made of frosted and clear crystal, designed by René Lalique around 1931.
Features of this object:
• Design: The lid is adorned with a detailed relief of a dahlia flower.
• Material: Made of half-crystal or high-quality pressed crystal with a characteristic satin (matte) finish.
The diameter is 8.5 cm; this is the small size (often referred to as Model No. 1) of the Lalique Dahlia series. This is a very common and cherished size for collectors.
The letters of "LALIQUE FRANCE" have a characteristic, slightly grainy and somewhat open structure typical of the chemical etching method with acid.
This type stamped acid-etch mark in tight block letters was mainly used in the 1950s and 1960s. It definitively confirms the earlier dating and completely rules out a modern reproduction (1980s–present). The fact that around the signature there are also light rubbing scratches on the bottom is completely normal for a used item of this age and does not further affect the value.
