Recent estate find, along with other quality glass & crystal pieces. I am familiar with small lalique pieces. This set is amazing. It is a 3 whiskey decanter tantalus. Each bottle is 8 1/4", signed lalique France, style number 13353 is on a sticker. The chrome case is very heavy with a insert key locking cage. One of the accompanying inserts says it was made in 1990.
This I know. What I don't is where can I find another or even reference to it. A catalog, for sale on a website, MSRP, a comparable. If you know please fill me in. Thanks so much!

It seems Rene Lalique did two versions of a "Cave à liqueur" around 1931. There are a few examples on the net. Yours has a similar structure though it fits rounded bottles rather than the square versions from the thirties. I think you have a wonderful item. Perhaps you might have some luck by searching with the French form of 'tantalus'?
