Lalique - Caldera bowl clear crystal 

The caldera, a grand terrestrial formation, bears witness to a volcanic history. With its circular shape, this vast crater becomes a reservoir of beauty and a guardian of age-old secrets. The Caldera pieces take on these contours, featuring a delicate cracked pattern that evokes the perpetual renewal of the earth. Between shadow and light, the contrast of the design is sublimated by repolished satin crystal, Lalique's signature, which brings a unique realism and aesthetic. Inspired by this majestic receptacle of Nature, Lalique crystallizes it into bowl. A tribute to a mineral Earth that offers us an eternally poetic spectacle.

Lalique

Before becoming a brand, it was the name of a man, a genius artist, René-Jules Lalique and his heirs who shared his creative flame. René Lalique was born in Aÿ-en-Champagne in the Marne region of France. A few years later, the Lalique family moved to Paris, but continued to spend the holidays in Aÿ. René Lalique remained deeply attached to his birthplace throughout his life. In 1887 he opened a business in Rue du Quatre-Septembre. Already in 1888 he designed his first finely wrought gold Parures inspired by antiquity and japonism, breaking the tradition of jewelry with the inclusion of innovative materials in his pieces. In 1888,  he recorded his "RL" stamp and engraved the unique pieces created in his workshop with these letters.
