The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 6 November 2020 12 Comments

From Lalique, the 2021 crystal limited edition of Lalique de Lalique, Pivoine. “A truly impressive piece of crystal-making, “Pivoine” magnifies both the strength and grace of the flower. The peony’s blooming corolla forms the rounded body of the flacon. Its gently curved petals seem carved out of the satin-finish crystal, as though they were gouged from a rock by a sculptor. The edges and fine veins of each petal, in transparent crystal, enhance the refined floral motif, revealing the tender nuance of Lalique de Lalique Parfum, a blushing shade of peony pink. Like a delicate drop of dew crowning the heart of the flower, the satin crystal rounded stopper rises from the flacon’s neck. In the tradition of haute perfumery, each piece is sealed with a baudruchage and a gold thread around the collar.” 150 ml Parfum, $1800. (You can find a list of past editions here.)

    Yes, I figured a bottle that pretty would be ‘that’ expensive!
    Oh well….

    Just thinking that a REAL Lalique like this would HAVE to be displayed – and that would imperil the juice. What a terrible decision to have to make 😀

    Absolutely gorgeous! Was in the Lalique shop in London a couple of years ago & bought their signature ‘fleur de lys’ earrings, which are beautiful – also my late mum had lily of the valley in her wedding bouquet & the various countries/houses we lived in when I was growing up there was always a lily of the valley plant in the garden. One of these days I will treat myself to a piece of Lalique glass!
