Guinea Hen, exceptionally rare deepest amethyst tinted glass mascot by René Lalique. R.Lalique & France signatures etched to the rear of the piece. R.Lalique and France moulded signature to side of the base. It is an exceptionally rare event today to find any Lalique mascot with even a tiny hint of a tint, but so far rarer to find an example such as this with such a fabulous depth of tint.
