Vase c. 20th century

This frosted glass vase, designed by renowned French glassmaker René Lalique (1860-1942) around the 20th century, exemplifies Art Nouveau style. The intricate, decorative pattern is inspired by nature, featuring stylized floral motifs and a textured surface. The delicate curves and rounded shapes of the vase, along with the translucent glass, enhance the sense of beauty and grace. Now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, this vase showcases Lalique's mastery in glasswork.
