Markings on Perfume Bottles & Vanity Accessories

Pre-War Signatures & Marks:

• R. Lalique signatures are only found on items from before 1945. As a rule all pre-war marks should include the R for Rene Lalique (except for Mark No.7)

There are a few exceptions to this dropping of the R in the modern (after the death of Rene Lalique) pieces as a few old pre-war molds with the old R in front signature were used after Lalique's death until the old mold was replaced. So some modern pieces do have the molded R. Lalique signature, but they were also inscribed Lalique France to indicate that they are modern crystal made after Lalique died.

Post-war signatures:

• All post-war marks omit the R, later marks are acid stamped Cristal Lalique.
• Bottles after 1978 bear the Lalique ® France signature.
• Creation Lalique
• LALIQUE CRISTAL FRANCE
• Cristal LALIQUE France
• Bottle Made by Lalique
• Bottle Made by Lalique France
• MADE IN FRANCE BY Lalique ® FOR NINA RICCI PARIS
• LALIQUE PARFUMS
