Félix Marcilhac, René Lalique: Maître-Verrier, Paris, 2011, p. 399

Measurements: 8 3/4 x 7 1/4 x 2 in. (22.2 x 18.4 x 5.1 cm) excluding base Overall in very good condition. The glass with a few minute irregularities and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The glass surfaces with a few scattered surface scratches with associated dirt and surface soiling, notably along the base, consistent with age and gentle handling. The lower perimeter of the base with a few minute flecks, not visible when the statuette is set in the base. The base has been replaced at some point in the history of the piece and presents with a few surface scratches, light surface soiling and wear to the patina, consistent with age and gentle use. The base is fitted with a US plug and not guaranteed for electricity. A very nice example of the model.
