Lalique Tourbillons Clear & Black Enamel Oval Vase

The tourbillons design was first conceived by rene lalique in 1926, at the pinnacle of his career. Inspired by the unfurling of a delicate fern blossom, the abstract design allows for full freedom of interpretation, while the intricate curves of crystal reflect and refract the light beautifully. The tourbillons design is perfectly suited to this unusual and strikingly shaped oval vase. In this piece black enamel detailing is used to offset the sparkling crystal to create a dramatic effect.
