This beautiful Lalique France figurine depicts a frosted crystal sparrow with its wings outstretched and its head up. Motion is implied in it pose, the head slightly up and alert , the beaked parted and the wings slightly outstretched.
It is one of 3 sparrows in a Lalique series with heads in different positions. The original Lalique label number and a second “Made in France” label are still on its base.
It is signed with the familiar Lalique @ France Script etching which perks out from under the old peeling label at the edge of the base. It is clearly visible, more so with a magnifying glass.
Intricate detailing on the sparrow's feathers and the delicate frosted finish make it a must-have for collectors of Lalique and art glass. It’s the perfect size to draw admiring attention without being, too big.
The bird measures 5 3/8 inches from the tip of its slightly open beak to the tips of its tail and 4 3/4 inches at its widest pint, the tip of one outstretched wing to the other. Including the base it stands approximately 3 3/8 inches tall.
I can find no imperfections, cracks, or scratches on the piece. It was a collectors piece and only carefully displayed and cleaned.
Please examine this lovely piece carefully as I do not accept returns. Thank you!
