Rene Lalique Sirene Bouchon et Masques Bakelite Base Motif Decoratif: The stopper for the vase Sirenes Avec Bouchon Figurine Model No. 883 fitted into the Bakelite Base Masques, originally made for any of 4 Veilleuses (table lamps) Models 2553 thru 2556 being Graines D'Asperges, Amours, Pommier Du Japan, and Hirondelles. In the last 30 years, only two of these Motif Decoratifs have appeared at auction that we are aware of. One appeared in France, the other in the US in Florida. One did not yet have the little hole typically drilled thru the mouth of one of the masques on the base for an electric cord to come out of. Both stoppers were signed. This Motif Decoratif almost certainly was assembled and sold by R. Lalique et Cie. It is highly unlikely anyone else had these authentic bakelite bases and authentic original stoppers. It is likely Lalique had extra bakelite bases and decided to make use of them. We guarantee authenticity of both the stopper and the bakelite base. R Lalique Catalogue Raisonne #883 and #2553-2556. $8000
