Felix Marcilhac, René Lalique: Maître-Verrier, Paris, 2011, p. 425

Overall in very good original condition. please note that the vase was shot with both remitted and reflected light; when viewed only under direct light, the vase has a more violet and less yellow color than seen in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the design and not visually distracting. The surfaces with a few shallow surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A highly dynamic design by Lalique.
