This ring holder is a Lalique "Dove of Peace" design, crafted by the esteemed French glassmaker known for its refined crystal creations. The piece features a frosted glass medallion depicting two doves in relief, encircled by a laurel wreath. This motif aligns with Lalique’s tradition of incorporating nature-inspired themes into elegant decorative objects. The underside retains a gold label identifying its Lalique origin.
The structure consists of a shallow, circular clear glass dish supporting the frosted medallion. The doves are sculpted with smooth, flowing lines, their wings extending gracefully as they face one another. The laurel wreath surrounding them is rendered with detailed, overlapping leaves, creating depth and texture. The frosted finish contrasts with the polished clarity of the dish, a signature feature of Lalique’s glasswork.
Lalique employs press-molded techniques combined with hand-finishing to achieve the precision and soft translucency characteristic of its pieces. The interplay of frosted and clear crystal enhances the design’s sculptural effect, showcasing the company’s mastery of decorative glass production.
