René Lalique Green Mistletoe Bowl, Circa 1930
René Lalique Green Mistletoe Bowl, Circa 1930
7326
A beautifully designed R. Lalique moulded glass bowl, decorated with the celebrated mistletoe pattern and presented in a luminous green hue. Dating to circa 1930, this elegant piece captures the refined naturalism and sculptural clarity that made René Lalique one of the defining figures of the Art Deco period.
The bowl is moulded in relief with an all-over design of mistletoe leaves and berries, their gently stylised forms creating a delicate play of texture across the glass. The rich green colouring brings depth to the pattern, catching and diffusing the light to highlight both the frosted detail and the smooth, flowing contours of the bowl. At once decorative and functional, the design demonstrates Lalique's exceptional ability to transform a familiar botanical motif into an object of modern sophistication.
Mistletoe held long-standing associations with winter, celebration, and good fortune, and Lalique's interpretation gives the traditional subject a distinctly Art Deco character. The natural motif is reduced to its essential rhythmic forms, resulting in a piece that feels both organic and elegantly ordered.
A fine example of early 20th-century French art glass, this bowl would make a striking addition to a collection of Lalique, Art Deco glass, or decorative arts. Equally effective as a centrepiece or displayed in a cabinet, it has the timeless appeal, subtle colour, and unmistakable craftsmanship that continue to make Lalique glass so sought after.
