Rene Lalique Ashtray Pelican in Opalescent Glass: A Great Lalique Auction Item!
The illusive RLalique Pelican Ashtray in opalescent glass has appeared at auction on Ebay. With a starting price of $65 and no reserve, it seems like a great opportunity to acquire one of the unique Rene Lalique Glass designs which is rarely seen at auction, and even more rarely comes out in opalescent Lalique glass.
The seller of this apparently great piece (remember the continuing caution to check it out for yourself) states: Some wear from use on the bottom. No chips or cracks. The seller has over 1000 feedbacks with 100% positive. Shipping is only $7.20 in the U.S.

If you buy this rare R Lalique ashtray, a summer trip to Nashville for a personal pick-up, and a few great stops like the Grand Old Opry, the Jack Daniels Distillery, or a great ride down the Cumberland River on the General Jackson Showboat, a 300 foot Paddlewheel Riverboat, would make the buying and the traveling well worth the purchase! Nashville is a cultural wonderland and one of the South’s amazing attractions. And who knows what other great R Lalique glass lurks in the shops along the waterfront!
