Condition :
Pristine example with absolutely faultless detail and outstanding moulding and definition. The comb is full and has never had the minutest chip. One tiny air bubble deep inside glass to the front of the neck which is normal Lalique production. This example is one of the finest available for sale anywhere. it has never been restored and there are no internal flaws whatsoever. Lovely 'grey' hue to the clear frosted glass, indicating the earlier 1928 Lalique mascot production.
