Lalique Clear and Frosted Square Plate circa 1930. 6 inches long&#8221;. The plate is obviously ridiculous and any signature on it for R. Lalique in any way would be a forgery. Bravo, the lucky winning bidder for the total nonsense plate paid only $187.50 all-in according to the Heritage website as shown in the screen shot below. What a bargain.<\/p>\n<p>Assumedly, that lucky winning bidder, apparently trying to turn their supposed luck into actual profits, has the fake plate for sale for $995 on the Heritage website through some kind of private sale or re-offer program that Heritage has for its customers. <\/p>\n<p>If you believe the Heritage description about the expertise of their Lalique &#8220;authority&#8221; (according to the Heritage Bio: so and so &#8220;is considered this country\u2019s leading authority on the work of Rene Lalique&#8221;), putting the fake plate into circulation at one of their auctions cannot be some kind of mistake, misunderstanding, or oversight. It&#8217;s a joke, and unfortunately the joke is on the current owner assuming they actually paid the $187.50 shown on the Heritage website for the fake plate.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time we have highlighted fake items offered as R. Lalique through Heritage in recent years. Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if it were the last time? The &#8220;authority&#8221; at Heritage sold their reputation for just under $12,000 with the <a href=\"https:\/\/rlalique.com\/blog\/?p=1829\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">obviously fake Ecailles Vase<\/span><\/a>. A previous post concerning the infamous fake &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/rlalique.com\/blog\/?p=1128\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Unfinished Pink Acanthes Vase<\/span><\/a>&#8221; put the value of the authority&#8217;s reputation at $500 (but apparently you could have made a lower offer). And now we see this fake plate that drops that value to under $200. How low will this go before it stops?<\/p>\n<p>Below is a screen shot of the square deal on the Heritage website.
