Lalique Angel Ange de Reims Crystal Champagne Flute Wine Glass 1945 Vintage
The Lalique Ange De Reims Crystal Champagne Flute has a fascinating history. Created by Marc Lalique in 1945, this glass features the face of the Smiling Angel, a stone sculpture on the west façade of Reims Cathedral. Marc Lalique used an exact replica of the angels face, produced by the Louvre museum's moulding workshop, to ensure the glass was perfectly faithful to the original.
"Lalique" refers to the renowned French glassware company founded by René Lalique. "Ange de Reims" is French for "Angel of Reims," referring to the Smiling Angel statue on the Reims Cathedral, which inspired the design of the glass. The glass itself is a remarkable piece of craftsmanship, blending history, art, and function.The Angel glass is not only a tribute to Marc Laliques father, René Lalique, but also to the region where René was born. Its a beautiful piece that combines artistry and craftsmanship.
The Lalique Ange de Reims Crystal Champagne Flute is a beautifully designed piece of stemware. Heres what it looks like:
- Bowl: The bowl is elongated and slender, designed to maintain the effervescence of Champagne. It has a delicate, hand-blown appearance.
- Angel Face: Near the base of the bowl, youll find the face of the Smiling Angel, a three-dimensional face.
- Angel Wings: Extending up the sides of the bowl are the angels wings, etched with precision. These wings add a unique and elegant touch to the flute.
- Stem: The stem is made of crystal and is elegantly molded to complement the overall design.
- Foot: The foot is handcrafted and provides a stable base for the flute.
The elongated shape of the flute allows the bubbles to travel a longer path, maintaining their effervescence until the very moment the Champagne meets your lips. The narrow opening (approximately 2.75 inches) helps in maintaining the temperature and concentration of the Champagnes delicate aromas, providing a richer sensory experience.
