The sale had a catalogued 126 lots, but a couple were withdrawn and not offered. A total of 90 lots sold, for a respectable take up rate of 71%, which would be bit higher if the withdrawals were removed from consideration. High seller was of course the fresh to market R Lalique 1929 Cire Perdue Vase Feuilles Fougeres, CP551, which appears in the R Lalique Catalogue Raisonne only with information that it exists, and without even a drawing, let alone a picture. A photo of this vase has graced our home page for the better part of the past month. Measuring around 4.75 inches high (slightly smaller than a Rampillon Vase), this unique vase had a high relief design, and was in nearly original condition. The buyer was a London dealer in the room, thought by some observers to be acting on behalf of another dealer that wished to remain anonymous (intrigue). Big question &#8211; Who will step up to tell Christie&#8217;s &#8220;I saw it at RLalique.com&#8221;? These concerns aside, it sold for \u00a332,450 including the buyer&#8217;s premium, against an estimate of \u00a320,000 to \u00a330,000.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the video from the British Antiques Roadshow when they appraised the newly found Cire Perdue for the consignor:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HYmz-qMvXIQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For more info on the unique cire perdue creations of Rene Lalique, visit the <a href=\"\/rene-lalique-biography#cire_perdue\" ><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" >Lalique Cire Perdue<\/span><\/a> section of the Rene Lalique Bio.<\/p>\n<p>Colored vases dominated the rest of the high selling list, comprising 5 of the 7 other lots to break \u00a310,000.
