- Description: Launched in Paris in 1948, Nina Ricci’s “L’Air du Temps” arose as a global celebration of post-war peace and freedom. To embody this spirit, the fashion house partnered with Marc Lalique to create this legendary vessel, crowned with a poetic frosted crystal dove resting on a spiraling ribbon. Unlike standard mass-market commercial glass editions, this premium late-20th-century release was handcrafted out of genuine heavy lead crystal directly in the historic Lalique workshops in France, making it an investment-grade luxury staple for advanced glass collectors.
Behind the Glass: The Lalique Dynasty
The name Lalique remains the global gold standard for luxury French lead crystal. Founded by Art Nouveau and Art Deco visionary René Lalique, the house evolved through generations. René’s son, Marc Lalique, transitioned the company into heavy lead crystal production post-WWII, while his granddaughter, Marie-Claude Lalique, introduced fluid, mid-century sculptural aesthetics. Pieces from these eras are permanently preserved in major global institutions, including the Musée Lalique in Wingen-sur-Moder, France.
