Félix Marcilhac, René Lalique, 1860-1945: maître-verrier: analyse de l'oeuvre et catalogue raisonné, Paris, 2011, p. 410

Overall in very good condition. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the production and not visually distracting. The outer and inner edges of the upper rim with a few extremely minor fleabites, not visually distracting. The patiné to the lower area near the tail of one bird with a very minor fleck, and a few instances of very minor silver scuffs throughout, not visually distracting. The underside of the base with a few scattered minor scuffs and fine surface scratches, consistent with age and gentle handling. A playful design that presents with a lustrous green that is slightly deeper when viewed in person. 10 1/8 inches diameter.
