Status: Sold

Lalique France clear and frosted crystal vase in the "Martinets" pattern (swifts/swallows), designed by Marie-Claude Lalique in 1982. The tapering ovoid body is molded in high relief with a lively flock of stylized swifts in flight, their long, swept-back wings sweeping upward through tall grasses in an ascending spiral that wraps the whole vessel — a dynamic, movement-filled naturalism that reflects the Lalique house's lifelong fascination with birds. The design is realized in the maison's signature contrast of satin-frosted and polished clear crystal, the matte birds emerging from the luminous ground. Script-etched "Lalique ® France" signature to the underside; retains inventory label. Measures 8 × 8 × 9.5″
