Lalique's "Le Coq" is a larger mascot about 8 1/2 or 9 inches high and a heavy piece of crystal glass. It really does look best with a light under it.
I got this from the estate of automobilia of Edward O'Quinn, who was a famous lawyer and just as famous car collector.
It came with an equally large Bugatti crystal car, which I will not keep in my collection.

Beautiful, really like the up light image.
Very nice:)
It's beautiful Phil, I love it very much lit or not lit!...:-)
cuckeldiddelldoo that is a great cock!
Beautiful. I dug up a glass parrot mascot a few years ago, have no idea who made it. (In England) Do you know of any sources for finding out? I will get it photographed asap.
O.K. It does not ring a bell right now and sounds vague. Could you send me a photo to my email address which is beside my name in red at the read more... part of my home page, then I could compare it to known mascots since I have pretty much all of the books now ?? Phil.
Dude, this thing is CRAZY! I guess it's for the guy who has everything. Must be nice to have lawyer money. Why are you dissing the Bugatti? That's a cool car.
Thank you zguy2112, I do not really collect cars of crystal. Will have to try to post a picture. Phil.
Stunning...piece...thanks for sharing!!!!
