Limited Edition 1975 Lalique for Nina Ricci L’Air du Temps Frosted Crystal Powder Box, Numbered D-471
A study in understated French elegance, this rare numbered Lalique for Nina Ricci powder box transforms an everyday vanity object into a timeless work of decorative art. Created in 1975 as a limited edition for Nina Ricci’s legendary L’Air du Temps fragrance, the piece embodies the restrained luxury and sculptural refinement that have made Lalique crystal so enduringly desirable.
Expertly crafted in France from luminous satin-frosted crystal, the gently domed lid is crowned by Marc Lalique’s iconic single dove in flight—an enduring symbol of peace, love, and grace that has become synonymous with L’Air du Temps. The simplicity of the circular form allows the sculptural finial to take center stage, while the velvety finish softly captures and diffuses light from every angle.
Originally created to hold perfumed body powder, today it functions beautifully as a sophisticated vanity box, jewelry casket, or decorative objet. Whether displayed on a dressing table, atop a stack of art books, or styled on a bedside table, its quiet elegance feels as relevant today as it did when first introduced.
This example retains its original Nina Ricci Paris acid-etched signature, Made in France mark, and is individually hand engraved D-471, identifying it as one of the scarce numbered edition pieces produced for this celebrated collaboration.
An exceptional addition for collectors of Lalique, French crystal, luxury fragrance memorabilia, or anyone drawn to timeless, minimalist design.
