A RARE VINTAGE SIGNED "LALIQUE" CRYSTAL "ENFANTS" POWDER BOX!

A VERY RARE PIECE BY "LALIQUE", I'VE SEEN DOZENS OF THE PERFUMES OVER THE YEARS WITH THIS SAME DECORATION OF CHERUBS "(ENFANTS)" BUT I HAVE ONLY SEEN 1 POWDER BOX SO I HAD BEEN KEEPING THIS ON MY VANITY FOR THE PAST DECADE. THIS VERY UNUSUAL & UNIQUE POWDER BOX IS DESIGNED WITH AN ACID ETCHED (FROSTED) FINISH WITH 16 CHERUBS "ENFANTS" SURROUNDING THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE POWDER BOX WITH THE LID HAVING RING OF FLOWERS IN A TOWERING FORM. THE EXTERIOR BOTTOM IS SIGNED "LALIQUE  FRANCE" IN SCRIPT. THE SIGNATURE "LALIQUE" WAS USED AFTER 1932. THIS LOVELY ORIGINAL LALIQUE POWDER BOX MEASURES 3 INCHES TALL (WITH THE LID ON), 2&1/8 INCHES TALL (WITHOUT THE LID ON) BY 4&1/2 INCHES IN DIAMETER. THIS UNIQUE POWDER BOX HAS A NICE HEFTY WEIGHT OF 1 POUND AND 11.1 OUNCES OF FINE FRENCH LALIQUE CRYSTAL GLASS. THERE IS NO CORROSION, NO PITTING, NO REPAIRS, NO OXIDATION, NO SCRATCHES, NO CALCIUM (WATER) STAINS, NO CHIPS AND NO CRACKS. THESE SUPERB 100% PERFECT & ORIGINAL SIGNED "LALIQUE" CRYSTAL POWDER BOXES ARE SCARCELY FOUND AND BECOMING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AT ANY PRICE BUT I HAVE AS ALWAYS STARTED THIS WITH A VERY LOW OPENING  BID TO MAKE IT AFFORDABLE TO EVERYONE WHO ADORES RARE ANTIQUE LALIQUE ITEMS! THE LAST ONE I SAW AT AN ANTIQUE SHOW WAS PRICED AT $575.00. THIS HAS BEEN SAFELY STORED ON MY VANITY FOR THE PAST DECADE WHEN I HAD ACQUIRED IT FROM AN ESTATE I HANDLED OF A WELL KNOWN DIRECTOR'S WIFE WHO LIVED IN BEL AIR, CALIFORNIA. IT HAS SINCE BEEN PART OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION OF RARE LALIQUE FRENCH GLASS WHICH IS FOR THE FIRST TIME BEING OFFERED TO ALL THE WONDERFUL EBAY COLLECTORS WHO APPRECIATE ONLY THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF RARE ORIGINAL SIGNED "LALIQUE" FRENCH CRYSTAL GLASS. THESE NOT VERY OFTEN SEEN PIECES ARE VERY SELDOM FOUND AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS BEEN OFFERED AS IT WAS NEVER IN MY STORE INVENTORY BUT KEPT AT HOME. I AM GETTING UP THERE IN YEARS JUST TURNING 80 YEARS YOUNG AND HAVE CLOSED MY STORE SO NOW IT IS TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO CHERISH MY PERSONAL TREASURES AND TAKE THE SAME CARE THAT ONLY A LOVER OF REAL ANTIQUES & VINTAGE ITEMS CAN PROVIDE MY FAVORITE POSSESSIONS. I HOPE THIS WILL BE ENJOYED AND TREASURED FOR AS MANY YEARS AS I HAVE PRIDED HAVING IT IN MY HOME. ENJOY AND HAPPY BIDDING!

F.Y.I. I am a 3rd generation antiques dealer & have been in the fine antiques business for over 30 years. I have had several open stores over these years but now with rents out of the realm of reality & my age creeping up on me, I have closed the last of them & I am now concentrating all efforts to on line sales. I am very knowledgeable about all types of antiques. I do not & will not sell fakes or reproductions of anything. All my items are 100% as described & the pictures prove it! Any damage or imperfection is noted and all items are mailed with an invisible ID mark that only I know of. This will eliminate anyone trying to item switch a broken treasure with my perfect piece. If you want a live cam or any other detail about an item, please ask & be certain to include your direct email address for a reply. Ebay does not allow my sending pictures thru their email service. I will try to accomodate all requests on 1st come, 1st served daily basis. I do not sell outside ebay so do not ask. I can offer a very expensive buy it now if you must have it today! I ship 1 day a week so please be patient. Everything is very carefully packed as I love my things & want you to enjoy them in the same condition as I have. All items are sent via USPS & Insured at full value. Sorry if this costs International buyers more but these are ebay's rules & I will follow them to the letter. Please work out any special payment request in advance as all sales should be simply processed through PayPal unless we have made prior arrangements. Ask any & all questions before you bid as the bid is your contract to purchase. I allow 5 days for payment in full otherwise the item is sold to the next highest bidder or re-listed & I will leave appropriate feedback to all non paying bidders. I hope everything is very plain & simple to understand but do not be shy about asking anything should you require additional info or details. I hope you enjoy each & every item as most are from my private collection assembled over the past 30 years and never before offered for sale. Each piece is very special, of great quality, rare for its' kind and worthy of any advanced collection. Thank You, Bernice Ellen
