This elegant hand-blown glass vase by the renowned René Lalique represents the best of Art Deco glassmaking. Crafted in the striking Sauge pattern of waving leaves of sage, this marvelous, teardrop-shaped vessel beautifully demonstrates Lalique's mastery of the stylized naturalism that helped to define the Art Deco Period.  Lalique's vases are considered matchless in the boldness and verve of their floral and foliate motifs. A work of stunning glass artistry, this vase was displayed at the Frank Lloyd Wright Rosenbaum House in Florence, Alabama from 1940-2003. Almost identical vases are featured in René Lalique et Cie. Lalique Glass; The Complete Cataloque for 1932, and The Art of René Lalique by Patricia Bayer and Mark Waller.
