Lalique France clear and frosted crystal ring dish (vide-poche), the shallow round polished dish centered by a sculptural frosted sparrow perched with head raised. The little bird is a recurring and much-loved motif in Lalique's repertoire — René Lalique and, after him, his son Marc drew repeatedly on birds and other wildlife, and the sparrow in particular appears across the house's figurines, bowls and trinket trays. Here the matte, satin-finished bird is set against the brilliant clarity of the dish, showcasing the signature Lalique contrast of frosted and polished crystal. A practical and decorative piece, made to hold rings, earrings or small keepsakes on a dressing table or desk. Script-etched "Lalique ® France" signature to the base. Measures 7 × 7 × 4″.
