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.

Perhaps you might have some luck by searching with the French form of 'tantalus'?
