René Lalique [BISON] 1931 Sculpture René Lalique (1860-1945) was a highly influential French glass artist who began his career designing jewelry and then expanded into glass art. He created a variety of practical and decorative items, including perfume bottles, ashtrays, and ornaments. The intricate pachiné technique applied to the glass surface gives this piece its unique depth and texture. Pachiné is a technique used to add color to glass to enhance its depth and nuance. This piece particularly stands out for its powerful physique and intricate depiction of its fur. The carved fur around the shoulders and neck, in particular, possesses a realistic yet abstract beauty, showcasing Lalique's sophisticated technique and design skills. The powerful and majestic presence of the bison is captured in delicate glasswork, making it a truly captivating piece. The side features an engraved "R. LALIQUE" signature. This is a piece you'll want to experience for yourself to truly appreciate its presence and charm. [Dimensions] Height: 9.6cm Width: 12.5 x 4cm [Condition] Excellent condition.
