Friday Featured Art: Rene Lalique

Recently I've been watching Antiques Roadshow on BBC America. It's fascinating. Their locations are beautiful country estates, and people show up with items that are hundreds of years old. One was a Scottish lady with a vase by Rene Lalique that she had purchased at a yard sale for 1 pound. (They call them car boot sales (or boot sales) - which means something like a trunk sale.) The vase sold at auction for over 32,000 pounds, which is something like $53,000. It was a pretty vase.
