Unsigned Lalique Bacchantes Vase in Clear Crystal, Mid-20th Century
The "Bacchantes" model you see here is one of René Lalique's creations from 1927. Its name is a reference to the ancient Roman priestesses of the Roman god of wine and intoxication, Bacchus. They were renowned for their frivolity, their nudity, as well as their passion for celebration and music. The outline of the vase is a faithful representation of their reputation: a neoclassical-inspired frieze in bas-relief of these naked, happy, dancing women forming a chain!
Although unsigned, this vase is attributed to Lalique; its dimensions, the quality of the crystal mold, and the sound it makes to the touch perfectly match a model that would be.
The reason it isn't signed may be explained by the fact that some pieces after 1945 may have left the factory without a signature, for quality control reasons or special editions. It may also have been a "going away gift" given to loyal Lalique employees who were retiring, making it an exceptional vase compared to others given these parameters.
If you're passionate about luxury crystal and Lalique, don't wait any longer; adopt this vase, a great Lalique classic.
