Lalique glass hood ornaments information

 The 1932 catalog of the Lalique hood ornaments had 30 pieces of art, 2 of them had been paperweights. Only 3 complete sets are known to exist, and since only 7 of the fox head were made... they are likely to be the only complete sets that ever will exist.

The most recent sale at auction of a complete set had a final price of $805,000. http://www.rmauctions.com/PressRelease.cfm?PressID=845

this yelling woman head with cool swept back cockatoo hair is named "Victorie : Spirit of the wind" and was the largest piece made
