Vintage Signed Lalique France "Caravelle" Frosted Crystal Sailing Ship Ring Dish
Vintage Signed Lalique France "Caravelle" Frosted Crystal Sailing Ship Ring Dish
A quintessential example of French luxury, this "Caravelle" (Sailing Ship) ring dish by Lalique features a masterfully sculpted clipper ship in frosted crystal, set within a clear, high-polished circular tray. The contrast between the matte, frosted sails and the brilliant clear base is a signature Lalique technique, designed to catch and diffuse light with exceptional elegance. This "vide-poche" (trinket tray) is as functional as it is beautiful, offering a sophisticated way to display rings on a vanity or serve as a refined accent on a desk or bookshelf. The base features the authentic, hand-etched "Lalique ® France" signature.
Dimensions:
Diameter: 3.75"
Height: 2.75"
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. The crystal is exceptionally clear with no signs of "sickness" or clouding. The rim of the tray and the delicate edges of the frosted sails are structurally sound and free of chips, cracks, or "flea bites." Commensurate with light use, very minor surface scuffing is present on the underside of the base.
A timeless gift or a refined addition to any collection, this signed Lalique piece represents the pinnacle of 20th-century French glass artistry.
