Made of clear and tinted sepia glass with brass metal inserts for the candlesticks. Very solid and the design echoes and reinforces the sturdy aspect of the design, with the clear glass giving the opposite, ephemeral effect. Alternating with backwards arching bands that support the candlesticks, are 4 quarters of a circular band, each moulded with a spectacular pheasant - birds that were clearly a favourate of Rene Lalique's. The modelling is in very high relief with fabulous detail combining realism with abstract design. Very pleasing to the eye. The birds are further enhanced with a pinkish - brown patina. <P><P>
Engraved signature R. Laliqe France. <P><P>

Made of clear glass with tan / sepia tones and pearly iridescence in the carved out sections. <br>
The border of the dish is decorated with an intaglio ring of pheasants and foliage. Elongated birds in pairs, long necks stretched out and bending towards each other, alternating with branches overlaid on each other. <P><P>
Almost the entire surface of the bowl of the plate is covered in a rounded triangle of foliage, each section featuring a pair of hounds. The bodies of the dogs are fantastically modelled and the glass is pearly iridescent, adding a shimmer to their short coats. They are surrounded by detailed foliage, overlapping in a style typical of the Arts and Crafts Tradition. The center of the design consists of negative space, cleverly forming a Fleur de Lis. <P><P>
Fabulous detail to the dogs and leaves. The design works on both a figurative and abstract level. Interest is added by the strong contrast between the textured coloured sections, the clear glass and the iridescence. <P><P>
There is an engraved R. LALIQUE signature. <P><P>
Condition: no chips/cracks/damage. Minor surface wear, commensurate with age. <P><P>
