Artfully arranged cacao beans punctuate this opalescent glass bowl by the renowned René Lalique. First designed by Lalique in 1931, the Cacao pattern is molded in low relief with exquisite detail. A superb example of Lalique’s elegant aesthetic, this bowl showcases the luminary designer's ability to capture the beauty of the natural world with Art Deco flair. Lalique remains one of the most popular designers and sculptors of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. He mastered the press-molded techniques, and glass aficionados and amateur collectors alike continue to marvel at the grace and beauty of his works. Featured in R.
