Rene Lalique Muscat Vase: RLalique.com

Rene Lalique Muscat Vase information and photos at RLalique.com are tied together on this main Muscat Vases page. Past and future auctions, historical details, sales, copies, reproductions, articles and more are all accessible from here. This page grows as more info is added to the website.

Note: This is one of 5 models marketed by Rene Lalique et Cie as a Lave-Raisins, a small water container used to rinse unwashed grapes. All 5 models have names related to winemaking. The other 4 are Malaga, Ricquewihr, Sarments, and Jurançon. Because of their vase shape and because a typical owner of one of these would not know to look up a Lave-Raisins to search for information, we have grouped all five with the vases for reference purposes.

Also Note: Muscat is a famous family of grapes that includes something over 200 different varieties that have been used in wine production, as table grapes, and for making raisins. The first known historical mention of wine made from Muscat grapes came in the early 1200's.

Also Note: Compare the bunches of grapes on this vase to the grapes on the Malaga Vase and the Raisins Bowl.
