Lalique’s Colorfull Sea

People who know me a bit, they know I’m a huge, I mean Huge Lalique lover. Especially the Art Deco inspired item. In the years I have a nice collection of perfume bottles by Lalique, vases, lamps and many more. Not only in the traditional clear with satin finish, but also in black crystal. Normally I’m not a great lover of colors, but some years ago I started to collect their famous frog collection. Now I rediscoverd the fishes… And putting them together the Lalique magic begins….

The original Fish in glass was designed in 1913 by René Lalique and since become an important and iconic piece in the Lalique collection. They are issued in a wide range of colors…

…..including this opaque black crystal

…..this smokey gray crystal

…..in the traditional clear crystal with satin finish

…..this rich amber crystal

…..this unusual complex pink crystal

…..this rosy pink crystal

…..this complex opalescent crystal

…..this sparkling yellow sun crystal

….this rich blue with a hint of lightness on the fins, Cap-Ferrat blue luster

…..this rosy fuchsia crystal

………and many, many more.

That make them beautiful pieces to collect, not only for Christmass but all year long. Each month one in the color of the month’s birthstone color?
