Lalique “Gao” Vide Poche

A mid-20th century Lalique “Gao” dish in clear and frosted crystal, designed and produced in France. The base is engraved “Lalique France.”
 
This pattern is defined by its scalloped, serpentine edge and repeating cabochon motif—one of Lalique’s most recognizable design languages. The interplay between satin-frosted crystal and polished, raised elements creates depth and movement, a hallmark of Lalique production in the mid-century period.
 
Originally conceived as a small nut or candy dish, the piece is now widely collected as an example of Lalique’s decorative crystal work from the 1960s.
