Rare and Beautiful Creature of the day: Deux Cigales vase by René Lalique




We are in total awe of this recently surfaced Rene Lalique vase, the rare and exceptionally beautiful 'Deux Cigales'. Deux Cigales is French for Two Cicadas, cicada being a direct derivation of the latin cicada, meaning "buzzer". A tranquil vision of the noisy namesake insects, this is a standout piece by a truly brilliant artist. Thanks to rlalique.com for the tipoff!
