SUMMARY
Glass statuette, French, dated '9 Decembre 1929'. This trophy was originally conceived to mimic the design of the famous 'Vitesse' mascot, etched R.Lalique to side of the base, with full inscription around the base, including the date, 6½" high.
DESCRIPTION
Forward leaning nude, giving an impression of speed and motion, her left hand is caressing her hair, her right hand placed on her upper chest, beautifully created in satin and clear glass.
This fabulous trophy was used to commemorate the inaugural journey of the Cote d'Azur Pullman Express in 1929. It was given as a present to the passengers on this train, and very few survive today. See Plate 87, Car Mascots, An Enthusiasts Guide, by Giuseppe Sirignano and David Sulzberger.
