The Lalique Merles et Raisins Medium Vase in clear crystal pays tribute to one of René Lalique’s most iconic creations. Originally designed in 1928 as decorative panels for the legendary Orient Express, the “Merles & Raisins” motif was originally crafted in pressed glass with silvered backgrounds, set into the Cuban mahogany interiors of the iconic train. Now reimagined by the Lalique design studio, this timeless design is brought to life in a new form—a contemporary vase that merges Art Deco heritage with modern craftsmanship. Delicate blackbirds (merles) pecking at grapes wrap the surface of this crystal vase, forming a rhythmic and sculptural composition. The tactile texture and luxurious finish of the clear crystal lend this piece a luminous clarity and a nostalgic elegance, blending tradition with contemporary design sensibility. Measuring 22.2 cm (8.74 in) in height and 13.7 cm (5.39 in) in diameter, with an inner collar diameter of 11.5 cm (4.53 in), and weighing 2.8 kg (6.17 lbs), this medium-sized vase is perfectly suited as a refined decorative accent or as part of a curated crystal collection. Entirely handcrafted in France, the Lalique Merles et Raisins Medium Vase is a perfect embodiment of the House’s legacy—where historical design, French excellence, and artistic emotion meet.
