Description
Exquisite crystal mug featuring the 'Elizabeth' pattern, characterized by a frosted band of stylized acanthus leaves or feathers. The lower half features elegant vertical panel cuts, and the piece is finished with a scrolling arched handle. This luxury glassware piece reflects the Art Deco influence typical of Lalique design.
Key Features
High-end luxury brand recognition; high demand for 'Elizabeth' pattern collectors; sophisticated frosted-to-clear contrast; excellent giftability for crystal enthusiasts.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic Lalique pieces are almost always signed with an etched 'Lalique ® France' signature on the bottom base. High confidence if the signature is present and cursive; medium confidence if unsigned, as it could be a high-quality imitation (e.g., Cristal d'Arques).
Flaws to Note
Look for micro-scratches on the bottom (shelf wear). Check the handle joints for any stress fractures. Small 'flea bites' on the rim would significantly lower value.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Global reach), Etsy (Vintage focus), or a high-end local consignment shop. This item is also suitable for The RealReal if authenticity is verified.
Selling Tips
Highlight the 'Lalique' name in the title. Use high-contrast photography against a dark background to show off the frosted leaf details. Use 'Lead Crystal', 'French Glassware', and 'Acanthus Leaf' as keywords. Ship with double-boxing and plenty of bubble wrap.
