Actinia Vase
René Lalique
Circa 1934

Catching the light with its dynamic surface, the Actinia vase exemplifies René Lalique’s mastery of Art Deco glass. The undulating form is defined by swirling saw-tooth lines, enhanced by blue patinated pressed-molded glass that creates depth and movement.

Named after a genus of sea anemones, the design reflects Lalique’s enduring fascination with the natural world, transforming organic forms into a distinctly modern expression. The model was introduced on December 12, 1935, during the height of Lalique’s artistic period.

René Lalique remains one of the most influential figures of the Art Deco movement. Initially renowned as a jeweler, he transformed decorative glass through innovative molding techniques and a refined modern aesthetic rooted in nature. His work, prominently featured at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, secured his legacy as one of the defining designers of the twentieth century. His glass creations continue to be admired by collectors and institutions worldwide.
