Lalique Glasses and the Peace Hotel

Lalique glasses, started by the French glass designer René Lalique, was very popular in the 20th century. The fashion spread from Europe to the world, and to Shanghai's Cathay Hotel (now the Fairmont Peace Hotel). The owner Victor Sassoon ordered lalique art pieces for his luxury hotel on the bund and opened a lalique shop inside the hotel. Today on the 9th floor of the Peace Hotel, you can still find the original lalique glasses from 1920s.
