Since 1921 Lalique Have been manufacturing fine glassware and crystal in the alsace region of France. Whereas Baccarat have always been renowned for producing fine tableware of the absolute highest quality, it is in the area of artisan level crystal that Lalique excels. Their pieces are regarded more as works of art than things to be used, a baccarat vase would be the best way to display ones flower arrangements or to serve ones guests, but a Lalique vase would be something owned purely to be displayed for its beauty alone, and to actually put flowers in one would be to sully it.
The price of Lalique items have always represented this also, they have historically always been slightly higher in cost than baccarat for standard pieces, and their top end pieces represent serious investments, both in terms of cost and the increase in value over time.
These Paperweights from Lalique have been part of their permanent collection for some years now, and are available at present in a variety of three colours, Red, Pink and clear, priced at only £170 they allow almost anyone to purchase a significant and highly useable piece of Lalique crystal, that over years will as all their items only increase in value.

Lalique's designs portray an elegant simplicity. The pink heart paperweight is sensual blend of frosted and smooth glass complimented by the delicately formed of fluid lines. The graceful nature of crystal sets the stage to showcase the masterful craftsmanship and the intricate designs utilized by Lalique. Thanks a lot.
