Every time you pick it up I get nervous. I don’t have any Lalique, but I’m always scared to pick up the precious glass ware that I do own. I’m not clumsy, but I get nervous anyway and heaven help any guest who tries to touch it. 😬
Lalique glass is another famous type of French glass. Rene Jules Lalique, 1860-1945, is known for his uncolored glass, his perfume bottles, statues, vases, jewelry, chandeliers, clocks, hood ornaments, and more. Rene attended Sydenham Art College in London. After that, he worked as a freelance artist, designing jewelry and eventually opened his own business. He was known as one of Frances most renowned Art Nouveau jewelry makers. In the 1920s, he jumped into the newer category of Art Deco. These pieces aren’t quite old enough to be antiques. Rene passed away in 1945, but his work is still esteemed and treasured today. His granddaughter, Marie Claude-Lalique was also a glass maker who carried on her grandpa’s legacy. She passed away in Florida in 2003. Each and every original Lalique piece is marked “Lalique” and the pieces that were made during Rene’s lifetime are marked “R. Lalique.” This is good news for collectors. Some of Rene’s earliest pieces are marked with his very own thumb print.
I purchase a lamp in 1958 from a reputable dealer in LA who was on Melrose St it have the roses design it rings absolutely fantastic at the time I like it and I was very expensive several thousand but unaware of the signature or the R The dealer said that it was previous to 1945 Just now i like to give it to a good friend for Xmas she always admired Im not interested that it may be worth over $15,000.00 I like to give it to her anyway she’s been a good friend and it would be love like it gave me so much pleasure to look at it all this years I always love Chrystal and little by little im giving away my baccarat and many other brands too many to enumerate I also have a large collection of the italian Capomonte My children wanted me to sell my colección but ill rather give it to a good home to be admired like I done all these years Thanks for the information you had provided
Hello, Just found your video on line. I'm surprised that we've never crossed paths considering that I've been selling Rene Lalique in England since the late 1980'S. I tend to specialise in his coloured vases these days..Best wishes, Jan Afford.
so i just came across a piece of crystal at a thrift store. It was the heaviest piece there. It was bright and shiny but I was turned off by what appeared to be seams at the base of the crystal vase? Would there ever be seams at just the base of any expensive/valuable piece of crystal?
I just watched your excellent video. I inherited an 8 1/2' Tall lalique looking nude figurine. It has a B in a broken square at the base. As I just learned from you, there is a seam down the middle. Could you tell me what the initial means, etc.? Thank you.
I just found your video & learned many things about Lalique that I didn't know. I have the Lalique crouching cat & standing cat in frosted crystal that I bought in the 1970's. I also have a couple of other small pieces..one is a small vase. I'm interested in selling the cats as I'm moving into a retirement center & really have no need to hold on to them any longer. Do you have an idea what they're worth & where I might sell them to a legitimate buyer?
There is some confusion in your explanations. You stated that there would never be "made in France/Paris on any original authentic pieces. But there is a stamp on the tall Cristal. Also, some confusion about the "r". I think its possible that whole you explain about one thing, your camera was not on the subject of your explanations. Or maybe it is just me, it seems you were very clear to others that watched this video. 🤔
I just got a lalique bagatelle vase w/ the birds from a estate sale. The mark is on the bottom looks etched and it says "LALIQUE CRISTAL FRANCE". Do they ever use that mark?
I have a waterford crysstal bowl but I can't find the watermark it was a wedding present in 1981. Didn't realize it was a waterford until I saw pattern on internet. how do I find it? I've looked all over with a magnifying glass?
Look under natural light. Carefully hold your bowl under the natural light of a window. If that doesn't work it may not be Waterford or have a mark. Do you have a piece of Waterford or Lalique?

It doesn't make me as nervous as picking up a premie the size of a baked potato...I used to do that in the NICU.

Not sure on that one. It might be best to have someone look at it in person. Sounds like a beautiful piece. Enjoy!
Thank you.
Thank you!!

We would even be interested in purchase. Where are you located?
Do you have any appraisal or authentication services?
We buy pieces from those wanting to sell, but just don't have the manpower to provide appraisal services, but we appreciate your inquiry.

Yes, I just got a Waterford bowl at an estate sale and Waterford salt and pepper shakers as a wedding present.
