This was one of the only pieces that continued in production until 1987, still having the 'R.Lalique' signature (as it was a piece coming out of the mould as opposed to being applied afterwards). The more modern examples are made of a thinner glass and easy to compare with the the thicker inter-war and just post war pieces.
Very good condition.
