René-Jules Lalique, master jeweler of Art Nouveau, changed his medium from metal to glass—and earned a place in history. Roughly a century after its opening, his Verrerie d’Alsace glassworks continues to produce some of the world’s most extraordinary crystal. 

All in roundness, the Baby Elephant invites tenderness. The rich texture of its satin-finish repolished crystal perfectly replicates the pachyderm's ritual: its mud baths to cool down and protect itself. In the sun, the mud dries and delicately cracks along its wrinkled skin. With this sculpture shaped as a piece of art, Lalique celebrates the most imposing terrestrial animal, a symbol of strength, intelligence, and pure wisdom.
