In the early 1900's, the great French artist and industrialist Rene Lalique switched careers, retiring as the world's most celebrated jeweler, and becoming the greatest glass artist and glass manufacturer in the world. His brought art into the lives of everyday people by making household objects into art objects. His works became known simply as RLalique. He produced an amazing, almost dizzying array of R.Lalique glass objects in every form from ashtrays and cachets, to vases, jewelry, tableware and car mascots. After his death in 1945, his son Marc Lalique changed the nature of the production and marketing by dropping the R Lalique name, and changing the products from glass to crystal, a higher lead content and heavier product. The family of Rene Lalique no longer has an interest in the company that today sells and markets its crystal products under the name Lalique.
