RLalique.com

Here are all of the R. Lalique Vanity or Bathroom sets in our database. In addition to the name of this page, in French a set can also be called a Nécessaire de toilette. All these items except the Cabochons petales de rose Brushes (2) and the Fleurettes Nail Polisher (1) are found on their respective category pages of the Catalogue. At the present time we do not have either a Nail Polisher category or a Brush category in the catalogue to put those 3 items in.

Notes: Most items in a set are identical designs and the only difference is the size (or shape for some trays) of each type of item. Where there is no difference in an item except size (or shape for trays), we say how many there are and show only one photo. If significant differences exist in the design we say "3 different Perfume Bottles" for example, and then show 3 Perfume Bottle pictures instead of one. The only item totally missing from any of the sets below is a bowl for the Duncan set that we have never seen. Also note that the pump hardware for some atomizers did change over time.

And there is 1 documented Garniture De Toilette set not listed here that we have never seen and don't know what it looks like. If anyone stumbles across that set, please let us know about it.

Cabochons pétales de rose

Note: Cabochons pétales de rose is French for rose petal cabochons. It refers to the relief rose petals on some of the pieces in the set. It was introduced in 1909. There are 4 Boxes in 2 different basic shapes, 2 Brushes, and 1 Hand Mirror. This is the earliest of the Garnitures de Toilette and the rarest. Among the few known examples there are slightly different configurations including which items have a rose petal and the number and the placement of rose petals on any particular item. And it's the only set with brushes.

The 4 bottles were available for many years after the war with the dome stopper but signed Lalique France before they changed the post-war stopper to the big frosted rectangle.

Cactus

Cactus has the same meaning in both French and English. it was introduced in 1942 but did not incorporate the existing Maison Lalique 1928 Cactus Perfume Bottle. Instead Lalique made a slightly larger version (about 20% bigger) of that bottle for this set. The atomizer came the next year in 1943. In between the 1928 bottle and the 1942 Garniture Set, Lalique introduced the Cactus Vase bearing a nearly identical design to all these other Cactus items. We see this many times with Lalique, where he uses the same decoration and theme to create additional items with a theme of proven marketability. Ignoring the 1928 bottle and the vase, the Cactus set has 3 items. There is 1 Perfume Bottle, 1 Atomizer, and 1 Box.

Hélène

Hélène is French for Helen. Here it has to be Helen of Troy. Hélène was introduced in 1942. It has 3 items. There are 2 different Perfume Bottles and 1 Box. There is also a matching model 45 cm tall Hélène Mirror and a 28.5 cm long Hélène Hand Mirror Model No. 694 that is not yet in our catalogue. Also Note: We have seen several times offered for sale the smaller Hélène bottle stuck into a lidless box as what appears to be a roughly 20 cm bottle. Obviously this conflation was never marketed as such. See it on the Rescues & Assemblies page in the Repairs & Alterations Section of the site.
