Each small vessel is formed in clear molded crystal with a gently flared rim, thick polished base, and rectangular frosted relief panels depicting a child or putto among stylized grape clusters and vines. The contrast between transparent polished crystal and satin-frosted figural decoration is a hallmark of Lalique glass, allowing the relief to emerge softly through light, shadow, and refraction.

The Enfants model belongs to Lalique’s interwar Art Deco vocabulary, in which classical figural ornament, naturalistic motifs, and technically refined molded glass were translated into intimate table objects. The grape imagery gives the glasses a particularly appropriate association with wine, liqueur, and convivial service, while the small scale and sculptural relief place them equally within the category of collectible French art glass.

The underside signature visible in the photographs appears Lalique France.
