Some artists identify with the mediums in which they work so well with; they take them to the next level. That’s precisely what Rene Lalique did in France with pressed glass in the early-20th century. He turned simple pressed-glass into an art form.
Lalique used some of the most influential Art Deco images like the female face and form and immortalized each in pressed and mold-blown glass. Great design was the result in vases, bowls, perfume bottles, clocks and car mascots.
