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 its production and not visually distracting. Minor soiling to the surfaces, concentrated to the upper areas and consistent with age and gentle handling. The inner and outer edges of the upper rim with a few extremely minor fleabites and faint scratches, not visually distracting. A few minor isolated scuffs concentrated to the lower areas. The patiné to the lower area with a very minor discolored fleck measuring approximately 3/16 in. diameter. The underside of the base with a few scattered minor scuffs and fine surface scratches, consistent with age and gentle handling. A fine example of this model that presents very well with a rich royal blue color that is more vibrant and intense than is visible in the catalogue illustration.
