"MONT DORE" Bowl (1928), Masterpiece by René Lalique (1860-1945)

The "Mont Doré" bowl by René Lalique is a remarkable piece that embodies both Lalique's artistic talent and the essence of the Art Deco movement.

Created on November 22, 1928, this bowl takes its name from the town of Mont-Dore, France, which was famous for its hot springs and natural beauty, perhaps a source of inspiration for Lalique.

René Lalique (1860-1945), a celebrated glass artist and master of pressed molded glass, was known for his innovative use of glass in creating pieces of great finesse and incomparable beauty. The "Mont Doré" bowl perfectly illustrates his creative genius and technical expertise.

The bowl is distinguished by its elegant shape and delicate nature-inspired motifs. Made of pressed molded glass, the "Mont Doré" bowl reflects light beautifully, creating plays of reflections and transparency that add to its charm.

The "Mont Doré" bowl is signed "R. LALIQUE FRANCE". It is referenced on page 296 under number 396 in the "CATALOGUE RAISONNE DE L'ŒUVRE DE VERRE" by R. LALIQUE by FELIX MARCILHAC (Editions de l'Amateur 2011).
