So, anyone interested in Rene Lalique and his wonderful glass, treat yourselves to this lovely book (which is larger than the usual Shire books which, in recent years, have been modernized but not dumbed down; they are excellent short histories of so many subjects.)galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-20323906274055736902011-09-16T10:04:52.684+01:002011-09-16T10:04:52.684+01:00I hadn't heard of her either Debs - fascinatin...I hadn't heard of her either Debs - fascinating.
