Rene Lalique Paris
When I recently visited Paris,i went loking for Lalique Glass.
First stop was the Musee d'Orsay (used to be a railway station)
I was quite disappointed with the Lalique on view - in fact although there were lots of Art Nouveau Glass from Daum and other glassmakers, there was none on display from Lalique .
What was on show was a small selection of Lalique Jewellery and only one of the pieces on view was up to the standard I was expecting.
What a shame ! but not by any means a wasted day as I studied other French glass instead.
I assume that much of the pieces I had seen in the past were on loan to other museums.
I am looking forward to visiting the Lalique new museum at Wingen in Alsace when it opens.
I did find a couple of pieces of glassware though in a fleamarket but much of what is on show in St Oeuen look like fakes !
