Lalique Opalescent Bacchantes Vase on Base' Description Current Lot R. Lalique Opalescent Bacchantes Vase on Base Vase Bacchantes is widely considered Rene Lalique's crowning achievement as a glassmaker.  The timeless design brings the ancient world of classical mythology onto the cutting edge of glass design in a modern era. The offered lot is one of the few opalescent Bacchantes vases that can still be found today, presented in very fine condition with deep opalescence heightened by an effective touch of blue patina.  Overall elegance and decorative appeal is enhanced by a bronze illuminating base of Rene Lalique design.  An opalescent Bacchantes vase on this base holds the world record for the model at auction, selling recently in London for over $90,000.00.  Nicely signed with the favored wheel-cut full signature.  Mp. 438, No. 997.Overall height 12 3/4 in.
