Any thoughts on this one would be welcome, it's mould blown, sounds like lead crystal and some one loved it enough to repair it when it broke.


6 3/4 inches ine height.3 3/4 inches across the rim and 3 1/2 inches across the base.

the top and bottom rim have been polished flat.

Very nice!

Rene Lalique, Vrilles de Vigne  . Not sure about the band on the stem -- it's probably a repair as you say (other examples I've seen seem to have an applied glass ring in a contrasting colour reather than a metal band).

Thanks for that it was an ebay  £1.20 win last week, you can see it in an auction 3 years ago the same glass when i googled the name, no way did i think i would get an id on though, i'm guessing it's about 100 years old?, regards Chris.
