Art Deco Molded & Frosted Glass "Vase Ormeaux" signed Lalique
The "Vase Ormeaux," created by the illustrious René Lalique in 1926, epitomizes the elegance and innovation of Art Deco design. This masterful piece features molded and frosted glass that captures light with a subtle, enchanting glow. The vase is adorned with a captivating pattern of overlapping elm leaves, expertly crafted to rise gracefully along its surface.

This organic motif imbues the vase with a sense of vitality and movement, while its frosted finish emphasizes texture and depth.
