This exquisite piece was crafted at the renowned Lalique glassworks in Wingen-sur-Moder, Alsace, France.
The vase features a beautifully sculptural relief of stylized fern leaf motifs cascading down its body. The delicate play of milky opalescence catches the light remarkably, glowing with warm fiery-amber tones when backlit and shifting into subtle translucent icy-blue hues against darker backgrounds.
This historic creation is clearly signed at the base with the engraved mark: "R.Lalique France N° 996".
