9 1/4" Lalique Bowl - "Swallows" - (R Lalique Mascot) - VGC

Description

Before I describe the bowl, I would like to let you know that I will be listing a Lalique "Comet" mascot/ hood ornament (signed R Lalique) in the near future. This piece is in very fine condition (there are absolutely no chips or repairs of any kind), very rare (only the fox is harder to get), very expensive and comes with the original mount (made in England) - it has been appraised by one of the two or three most accepted Lalique experts in the world as to it's authenticity and condition. It has been in my possession for over twenty years and I believe it to be genuinely new to the market- it was purchased on a very rainy day at a small estate sale along with some other auto-related items and everything there was very old - one of those houses that time seemed to have  forgotten. I have to get ebay to raise my selling limits in order to list it, so it will be some time before it appears - they can be very hard to deal with in some respects.
The bowl is 9 1/4" in diameter and 2 1/2" high - I believe it pictures swallows in flight. There are some very small rough areas on the inside rim - the pics show them. I tried to get a clear picture of the signature (R Lalique in block letters), but it is hard to make it show up - you can barely see it in the picture. This piece was purchased not too long ago and although it is very beautiful, I am not sure as to it's authenticity- none of the books I have show it. I assume anyone interested will be more knowledgeable. Thanks for looking - if you have a moment, I have some other nice and varied items listed. If you have any questions, my contact info is 8564230012.  (A48-11/17)
