In 1994, the Owl, a mythical bird symbolizing wisdom, inspired Lalique to create two tumblers featuring strong, structured lines. In 1995, a decanter is added to the range, with a very original shape and crystal owl stopper. Evoking the antique "bas-reliefs" style, the owl motif in satin-finished crystal set against a contrasting shimmering background of swirling crystal waves, curves around each glass and decanter. A truly technical masterpiece, the intricate frieze, worked in relief gives these creations great depth not seen in such work before, and demonstrates once again the tremendous savoir-faire of the Lalique glass-makers.
