Lalique France clear and frosted crystal vase in the "Dampierre" pattern, designed by Marc Lalique in 1948 and among the house's most enduringly popular models. The small footed urn form is encircled by an alternating band of plump sparrows and leafy berried vines, the birds and foliage rendered in satin-frosted relief against the polished clear body so that each figure stands out with soft, sculptural definition. The generous flared rim and short pedestal foot give the little vase a jewel-like presence — equally at home holding a few stems or standing on its own. The bird-and-vine motif continues Lalique's lifelong fascination with fauna and flora. Script-etched "Lalique France" signature to the underside. Measures 5 × 5 × 5″.
