Lyon & Turnbull's dedicated Lalique glass sales happen twice a year and are run by specialist Joy McCall, ex-Christie's, who taps into her wide network of collectors and buyers to make each auction a very special event. The last one, back in October, yielded three rare Lalique vases, all made using the or lost-wax process. It's a method that is more commonly used for casting bronze, but can be adapted for glass, as celebrated French maker René Lalique did from the 1890s onwards,
