Description from the seller
LALIQUE
Baguier Moineau Diver
The Elegance of the Captured Moment: A Poetic Miniature in Crystal
This charming Baguier Moineau Coupelle from the Maison LALIQUE transcends the simple function of a toiletry accessory to become a true poetic scene frozen in crystal. It celebrates everyday beauty through the figure of the sparrow, a motif that, under the hands of master glassmakers, acquires an unexpected grace.
The gaze is immediately drawn to the mischievous attitude of the bird: perched on its central island, the sparrow leans with charming curiosity towards the cup, as if about to take a bath or quench its thirst. This gesture, imbued with life and lightness, transforms the object from a simple figurine into a tiny crystalline story.
Visual magic lies in the refined art of contrasting materials. The body of the sparrow, with its finely detailed plumage, is sculpted in a satin frosted crystal of unparalleled softness. This velvety finish delicately absorbs light, giving the bird a milky, airy purity, making it appear as a diaphanous apparition.
Faced with this matte texture, the base cup is polished to a perfect shine. The interplay of these two states — the pure matte of the bird against the shimmering transparency of imaginary water — is Lalique's signature.
It is a collectible piece that evokes the tranquility of the garden and the sensation of crystal on the skin, capturing the ephemeral with timeless elegance.
