This figurine is a frosted crystal sculpture by Lalique, depicting a small bird in a poised stance. The piece is signed on the underside, identifying it as an authentic work from the renowned French glassmaker. Lalique’s signature frosted finish is applied throughout, giving the surface a soft translucency characteristic of the brand’s decorative glassware.
The bird is sculpted with a rounded body, a slightly raised tail, and folded wings with stylized feather detailing. Its head is slightly tilted upward, showcasing a smooth transition between the beak and body. The legs are tucked beneath, merging seamlessly with the clear glass base that provides stability while maintaining the sculpture’s fluid form.
Lalique, founded by René Lalique in the early 20th century, is known for its innovative glass designs, blending naturalistic subjects with elegant Art Deco influences. The frosted glass technique, developed and refined by Lalique, remains a hallmark of the brand’s production, enhancing the sculptural depth of its decorative objects.
