The following criteria are used when judging the value of Lalique glass:

  • Quality of molding: is there good detail? As molds get older detail gets weaker.
  • Original staining adds to value.
  • Enamelled items, is there damage?
  • Colored lalique: is it the most desirable color?
  • Check for damage such as grinding, polishing , chips, cracks or drill holes.
  • Is it complete, is there a base, lid or original stopper missing?
  • Has it been converted, for example a bowl to a sconce or hanging light?
