Eric Knowles Comments

‘Meandres’ represents a bench mark period in Lalique’s output by apparently moving with the winds of time  and the move towards Art Moderne. The comparison with the extensive range of similar technique and form by Daum is inevitable whilst it should be remembered similar works by Lalique are relatively rare.

This is the rarer version of the vase. Clear and frosted examples and those wuth a black stain are far more common.
