René Lalique "Gui" Vase in Opalescent Green Glass, Circa 1920

A stunning example of René Lalique's masterful glasswork, this "Gui" (Mistletoe) vase represents one of the most celebrated designs from the renowned French Art Glass master. Created circa 1920 during Lalique's golden period, this spherical vase showcases the artist's signature opalescent green glass technique.

The vase features Lalique's iconic mistletoe motif, with flowing, organic leaf patterns that seem to dance across the surface in raised relief. The opalescent quality of the glass creates a luminous, almost ethereal effect as light plays across the swirled green tones, shifting from pale jade to deeper emerald depending on the viewing angle.

This particular design, model number 944 in the Lalique catalogue, exemplifies the Art Deco movement's celebration of natural forms rendered in modern materials. The bulbous, rounded form with its narrow neck creates an elegant silhouette that has made this design highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
