Sporting a conservative estimate of $10,000 to $15,000, the vase according to Skinners was unsigned, had no numbers on the underside, had only the word France written on the bottom, had some damage including a visible small chip in their photos, and caused enough doubt in the minds of Skinners that it was catalogued as &#8220;Attributed to R. Lalique&#8221;!<\/p>\n<p>The final price for the 6 and 1\/2 inch vase was $105,000 plus a buyer&#8217;s premium of $19,425.<\/p>\n<p>The figures on the vase according to the auction house were males, yet the vase bore a striking resemblance to CP 409, the vase Quatre Figurines Femmes Formant Soutien, a 1921 Cire Perdue that was exhibited at the 1925 Exposition des Art Decoratifs and which is shown in the second photo.  The documented vase CP 409 has a clear signature visible in the photo in the R. Lalique Catalogue Raisonne. It also featured female figures according to its name and description.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/cire-perdue-quatre-femmes-lalique-vase.jpg\"  alt=\"Lalique Cire Perdue Vase Quatre Figurines Femmes Formant Soutien\" title=\"Lalique Cire Perdue Vase Quatre Figurines Femmes Formant Soutien\"\/>All these questions could of course have been answered by a short in-hand inspection, which we were unable to make. And the vase does look quite compelling from an authenticity standpoint in the auction house photo notwithstanding any obvious damages or concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, at least a couple of bidders thought it was worth a pretty good go, raising the final price to roughly 10 times the auction house estimate.<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"\/rene-lalique-biography\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Lalique Biography<\/span><\/a> at RLalique.com you can read all about the famous <a href=\"\/rene-lalique-biography#cire_perdue\" ><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" >Lalique Cire Perdue<\/span><\/a> pieces, and find links to all the Cire Perdue resources, articles, and information contained on the website including Cire Perdue auctions and Cire Perdue fakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The apparent Rene Lalique Cire Perdue Vase at Skinners in Boston Massachusetts, shown in the first photo, sold as Lot 289 in their sale on March 27th, 2010.
