Authentic antique René Lalique “Hespérides” tray, model No. 3682, designed in 1931 during the iconic French Art Deco period.
This beautiful round tray features the distinctive citrus leaves motif in frosted relief over clear molded glass, a design inspired by the mythological garden of the Hesperides. The elegant twisted border with stylized leaves creates a striking sculptural effect typical of René Lalique\'s work.
The tray is signed “R. Lalique” on the rim, a mark used on pieces produced approximately 1919–1947, confirming it as an authentic early Lalique example rather than a later “Lalique France” production.
Measurements:
• Diameter: approx. 17 in (43 cm)
• Height: approx. 1.2 in (3 cm)
Condition:
Good antique condition.
There are surface scratches visible on the center, consistent with age and use as a serving tray.
On the reverse side near the rim there appears to be a small area that may have been stabilized or lightly repaired in the past. It is subtle and not very noticeable, and I cannot clearly determine whether it is a repair or simply a manufacturing irregularity.
Structurally the tray remains solid and displays beautifully.
Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
