Continuing on the theme of charity shops, I found this little fishie on sale for £1 the other day. Don't know why he appealed to me but I parted with 100 whole pennies on a whim.
When I got him home I noticed a tiny signature on the base and after nearly going boss eyed with the effort I finally deciphered the name 'Lalique.'
I was so flippin excited as I've always wanted to own a piece by Lalique but it's rather out of my price range! After a bit of research I found they were produced to buy individually or as a collection - the design comes in a range of colours and you can create a multi coloured shoal if you have the money and the inclination. Granted this little fella is very modern and not worth thousands but I am very happy to have him on my shelf. Now all I need to do is cultivate some less materialistic ambitions!
