"Tourbillons" vases, h 13 cm by Lalique

The Lalique brand made its name for its exceptional glass sculptures. This collection also includes the "Tourbillons" small vases. The crystal glass of the "Tourbillons" vases are handcrafted and partially given a satin finish. The French word "tourbillon" means whirl or eddy. It is an appropriate name for this vase with its many swirls and coils. The "Tourbillons" motif is an abstract design and inspired by the movement of the fern blossom.

The Lalique brand is synonymous with haute-couture crystal glass and is renowned for its unique glass creations. Each product from Lalique is manufactured, engraved and polished by hand by experienced craftsmen.

The "Tourbillons" small vase clear/blue has a patina finish. Patina is a special technique that was extensively used at the beginning of the twentieth century by Art Nouveau and Art Deco artists. This technique was commonly used on wood and metals. It is a decorative patina on an object to modify its basic layer by changing its colour. How Lalique uses this technique on the blue vase is a fiercely guarded secret.
