Up from a recent Honolulu estate is this circa 1980's Lalique "Martinets" Sparrow Vase. The Martinets Vase creates a perfect contrast between satin-finished and transparent crystal. The animal world was one of René Lalique's major sources of inspiration. He depicted a wide variety of animal species, all with a degree of naturalism that demonstrated the designer's genius. This has been handcrafted in France and has some light scratching on base-otherwise it is excellent condition.
