(40 x 29.2 cm.), Box: 18 x 25 1/4 x 18 1/4 in. (45.7 x 64.1 x 46.4 cm.) Provenance: Note: from Lalique.com: "To celebrate the 130th anniversary of the Maison, the new collection takes us to the heart of the immeasurable heritage built by its founder. Among fauna, the swallow particularly inspired René Lalique, which he then made the centrepiece of many jewels and decorative objects. With admiration and respect for this immense artist Lalique reinterprets the figure of the swallow, recurring in the Master?s work, herald of spring, symbol of happiness and freedom. Directly inspired by a creation of René Lalique, this vase depicts the beauty of swallows taking flight. With grace and lightness, they spread their wings with finely chiselled feathers. Illuminated with platinum, they twirl around, drawing the eye into swirls of crystal. This limited edition of 130 pieces majestically celebrates Lalique?s 130th anniversary." Condition: Two minute scratches, each less than 1/4 of an inch long. No chips, fleabites or repairs.

With many classic and significant masterpieces passing down through generations, Ryubundo kettles are produced with the highest standard of craftsmanship, and with precious materials.From the founder of the studio, Shiho Ryubun (1735-1798), every successive director of the studio Ryubundo were talented not only in metalworking, but also in painting, calligraphy, and poetry. Therefore, the aristocratic, literatic tastes are the main features of Ryubundo tetsubin. From the middle of the Edo Period (1603-1868) when tea culture was popular everywhere in Japan, the development of Ryubundo reached a boom, and this boom continued to the latter Meiji Period (1868~1912). The studio was mentioned in the ironic novel by the famous Japanese writer Natsume Soseki,I Am a Cat. The sentence writes “those people living a luxurious life would lose their sleep if they could not hear the sound made by the lid of Ryubundo iron kettles when water is boiling.”A closely comparable Ryubundo iron testubin of similar form and technique, but with butterfly decoration, was sold at Bonhams New York, 15 March 2017, lot 6300.
