Lalique Vases Sell Well At Sothebys: At the March 27, 2009 20th Century Sale at Sotheby’s New York, two R Lalique vases were included. Lot 117, was a nice looking thick rimmed cased opalescent R Lalique Alicante Vase with the engraved signature R.Lalique France No. 998. It sold for a premium inclusive total of $18,750 against a pre-sale estimate of $15,000 to $20,000. The other vase was the R Lalique Vase Epicea in green glass with the signature R.Lalique. The Lalique Epicea Vase is seldom seen in color (it’s also seldom seen in frosted), and this one made a premium inclusive total of $6250 against a pre-sale estimate of $5000 to $7000. Sothebys New York did a great job of estimating these vases accurately, and got good prices for both vases. Only two pieces to be sure, but another solid result for the works of Rene Lalique as we move through the Spring decorative arts auction season around the world.
