Lalique?????
Martinus:
I have recently purchased a Lalique bowl but I am unsure if this is real or fake. Can anyone give me the contact details of somebody who would be able to help me.
Kind Regards
Martinus
Martinus:
Ok, I have uploaded the picture hopefully it is ok, the vase is signed on the base "lalique" the signature is too small to show in a picture it is 15cm high 24cm width weighing around 3kg, any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Unable to locate this bowl in the 1932 general catalogue - but it could perhaps be a later item. The item is moulded and satinated all over, which is a process used by many makers - especially Barolac jumps to mind. It also looks a bit grey and cheerless for Lalique - but then I could be wrong and it could be the photograph. Finally it would be good if you could check the signature - what does it say precisely, is it needle engraved, moulded, or stamped?.
Martinus:
The signature is needle engraved "lalique".
