THE GLASS OF LALIQUE – A COLLECTOR’S GUIDE, by Christopher Vane Percy, Charles Scribner’s Sons, NY, 1977.

This comprehensive guide traces the artist’s entire career, both as a designer and as a manufacturer. The author describes Lalique’s production techniques, relating them to the many hundreds of glass objects for which they were specially devised, and he provides a wealth of advice and information to those intending to start or expand collections of their own. “Of unique interest to such collectors will be the comprehensive list of all the 1,562 objects listed in Lalique’s massive trade catalogue of 1932. Each item is identified by its design number, some are dated for the first time, and many are described in sufficient detail to enable the collector to identify them by eye as well as by number.

This book covers by chapter: Introduction; The Man and His Glass; For the Collector; Vases and Bowls; Tableware; Cars Mascots and Paper-Weights; Scent Bottles and Garnitures de Toileete; Illuminated Glass and Light Fittings; Glass in Architecture; Small Objects, Ink-Wells and Blotter, Clocks, Mirrors, Glass Jewelry, Boxes and Sweet-Dishes; Cire Perdue; Techniques; Trademarks; Design Numbers; Category Index; Glossary; List of Illustrations; Bibliography; Acknowledgments; and Index. This invaluable book belongs in the permanent reference library of the collector, dealer, or historian of French Lalique art glass.
