History around the Vase
\r
Chamonix is one of the largest communes in France in terms of area, located at the foot of Mont Blanc, with the highest peak in the Alps. During his time, René Lalique experienced the 1924 Winter Olympics there.
\r
All the areas invested in the know-how of the LALIQUE crystal factory have been sublimated.
Also the world of mountains was a challenge for René LALIQUE who succeeded with this creation in "materializing the spirit and breath of the Glaciers". . . in total harmony with the aesthetics of the "Art Deco" movement.
