LALIQUE.Perfumer, ca. 1950.Moulded glass.Work reproduced in "Le Catalogue Raisonné del L'Ouvre en Verre de R.

Smooth circular stopper.The firm Lalique was originally founded by René Jules Lalique (1860 - 1945), one of the leading glassmakers of the time, and one of the first to sculpt glass for great monumental works such as the fountains on the Champs Elysées. He enjoyed great renown thanks to his original creations of jewellery, perfume bottles, glasses, plates, etc., in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. He trained with the Parisian jeweller Louis Aucoq, and then continued his studies at Sudenham Art College in London. The excellence of his creations and the taste he applied to his work earned him important commissions for the interior decoration of ships, trains such as the Orient Express, churches such as Saint-Nicasius in Reims, and numerous religious and civil goldsmiths' works. Lalique was not content with simply designing his models, but also founded a factory to produce them in large quantities, patenting several innovative glass manufacturing processes, and various technical effects such as "Lalique satin" or opalescent glass. Pieces by Lalique are preserved in prominent museums such as the Corning Museum of Glass and the Metropolitan Museum of Glass in New York, the Louvre and the Orsay Museum in Paris, among many others.

Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian, a rare miniature 'Twiffler' vase, thrown by Edward T Radford, in orange vermillion glaze, 1cm high.Provenance:The Abraham Lomax Collection, thence by descent.Footnote:The term 'Twiffler' has been in circulation within the Pilkington Pottery since Radford was in employment as the main thrower. Lomax records them as "many small pieces being thrown" in a way to suggest and experiment with new shapes and forms under the guidance of Forsyth, who referred to them as "sketches in clay". Many shapes show the influence of Chinese vases. But calling them small pieces is somewhat of a misnomer as many are smaller than an inch, and as in this case barely a fraction of an inch. The Pilkington's Lancastrian pottery Society newsletters of March and June 2013 contain further information on these fascinating whimsical miniatures with colour plates showing a broader range of those known to exist in private collections and formerly the Monks Hall Collection in Eccles.Condition report:There is possibly a P painted to the underside of the base but not immediately evident. There is a tiny chip to the underside of the baseline, with what looks to be a small resulting hairline.

The clock and chronometer making business Johnson of Threadneedle Street, London is recorded in Clutton, C., Baillie, G.H. and Ilbert, C.A. BRITTEN'S OLD CLOCKS & WATCHES AND THEIR MAKERS as established by William Johnson (of Grimalde and Johnson fame) at 4 Hercules Passage in 1849 before moving to 54 Threadneedle Street by 1864. He is then thought to have relocated to 334 Kennington Park Road by 1867 where he remained until 1871. Condition Report: Both trains will wind, the strike/repeat train are operational however the strike is currently out of sync with the hands. The escapement appears undamaged but is 'sticking' hence a gentle clean/service is probably all that is required to bring beck to fully working condition. The alarm setting hand is missing otherwise dial appears free form damage/faults. The case is in good original condition however has been polished hence gilding is generally thin and worn throughout and is generally a little dirty/discoloured. The glasses appear free from visible damage. The travelling case has noticeable wear and bumps to the lining and scuffs, losses, wear and lifting to leather covering however is otherwise generally intact except for the strap handle which is no longer present.Clock is complete with a winding key.
