LONDON — Lyon & Turnbull’s Thursday, October 26 Lalique sale includes six of the rare pieces made using the cire perdue technique. In contrast to René Lalique’s (1860-1945) production line molded glass, which was made in multiples, his cire perdue works are typically unique. The sale is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.
The cire perdue (or lost wax) technique was commonly used for casting bronze, but Lalique discovered it worked equally well for the making of glass. The process involves creating a model in wax that melts as molten metal is poured into the mold.
Cire perdue glass is characterized by the absence of mold marks and often irregular and textured surfaces punctuated by lines caused by cooling. Typically, fingerprints are also visible, providing a direct link to the artist.
Between 1913 and 1932, Lalique, with the input of the sculptor Maurice Bergelin, executed nearly 650 glass vases, bowls and decorative objects using the cire perdue technique. Occasionally, half a dozen casts might be made, but the majority of the objects were one-offs.
The six cire perdue lots offered on October 26 are topped by a trio of vases — among the most desirable of all Lalique glass pieces. Estimated at £30,000-£50,000 ($36,600-$61,000) is a 7in sepia-stained vase designed in 1921 that features a frieze of anemones to the base, while the Deux Grenouilles vase from 1912, modeled with two frog heads as handles, carries an estimate of £25,000-£35,000 ($30,500-42,700). Algues et Flots, featuring five bands of aquatic weeds and air bubbles and designed in 1919, has an estimate of £20,000-£25,000 ($24,400-$30,500).
