The Mont Doré Bowl by René Lalique

The Mont Doré bowl by René Lalique is a remarkable piece that embodies both Lalique's artistic talent and the essence of the Art Deco movement. Created on November 22, 1928, this bowl takes its name from the town of Mont-Dore in France, known for its thermal springs and natural beauty, which may have been a source of inspiration for Lalique.

René Lalique (1860-1945), a celebrated glass artist and master of pressed molded glass, was renowned for his innovative use of glass in creating pieces of great finesse and incomparable beauty. Lalique began his career as a jewelry designer before transitioning to glassmaking, where he became one of the most influential figures in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. His ability to blend artistic vision with technical skill resulted in works that are highly prized by collectors and art enthusiasts alike. The Mont Doré bowl perfectly illustrates his creative genius and technical expertise.

The bowl is distinguished by its elegant shape and delicate nature-inspired motifs. Made of pressed molded glass, the Mont Doré bowl reflects light beautifully, creating plays of reflections and transparency that add to its charm. The Mont Doré bowl is signed R. LALIQUE FRANCE and is referenced on page 296 under entry 396 in the "Catalogue Raisonné de l'Œuvre de Verre" by R. Lalique, compiled by Félix Marcilhac (Editions de l’Amateur 2011).
