The buyer did not know it was the work of Rene Lalique.<\/p>\n<p>How did the owner of the $5.99 purchase even find out the name? That&#8217;s easy. Here&#8217;s the typical scenario:<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t know anything about R. Lalique or Rene Lalique.<\/p>\n<p>You find, inherit, or otherwise acquire a vase with an R. Lalique signature on the bottom. You type R. Lalique Vase into Google and see what comes up.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully your top result will be the main <a href=\"\/rene-lalique-vases\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Vases Page<\/span><\/a> in the <a href=\"\/rene-lalique-catalogue\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Rene Lalique Catalogue<\/span><\/a> here at RLalique.com. You click on that result and scroll through the photos of over 270 different vase models to find the one that matches your vase. The name of the vase is right under the picture, and in one click you are on the model page for that specific vase where you get just about all the information you might ever want to know.<\/p>\n<p>The two photos shown here were included with the email.
