Topic: Lalique drinking flute, modern, naked maiden knop - ID = ROXANE by Marc LALIQUE

[jonchellycain]

Hi all
I picked this gorgeous champagne flute up (unfortunitly there was only one  :cry:)
I am 100%.... no 95%... no 100% sure this is right, but i cant seem to find anything like it, ive gone through the lalique site and many other crystal sites trying to get a name on the pattern and have so far come up with nothing the same as this one.
The glass stands at 22.25cms tall, with Lalique (circled R trademark sign) and France underneath.
It has a tall thin round stem, at the top of the stem is a "knop" with 2 naked females curled around on some foliage, the base of the bowl has little facets.
Does anybody know the name of the pattern, or somewhere i may be able to find it
many thanks all
michelle

Hi

just thought I'd add -yes you are right: Roxane -and the pattern was designed by Marc Lalique the son of Rene. I thought earlier around 1955-60-ish - but they quote 1968 -dates of these designs are quite hard to be precise on - I expect they are right.

The r in a circle signature means this example was made after 1976.

I'm not certain when they started designing champagne flutes (as opposed to coupes) also probably not until the 70s (I have a 1977 book with them in)

cheers

thanks Mike every scrap of info helps to build a bigger picture.
The glass is in like new condition no surface wear at all, i would imagine its never been used at all.
thanks
