Featured Thrift find - signed Lalique vase(!) but bottom is chipped; is it still collectible/valuable?

I found a signed Lalique vase (7.5" tall) at my friend's thrift store! But the base/bottom edge is chipped - is this Lalique still a collectible or valuable?
Thank you for any help

 

'Putti vase' according to the internet. Depends on how scarce it is. This one was damaged as well and sold.

My grandmother had about 5 similar vases that we tossed out last year... We used to think so much of her stuff was valuable until Ebay came around.

She also had a bunch of fancy gold-plated candlestick holders we discovered were worth only about $20 a set.

 

It sort of makes me wonder if it's real (I have no idea). This Hindman auction from 2013 has a similar vase though not sure it's exactly like yours. It looks like bidding hit $475 and then didn't sell, possibly because it didn't meet estimate.

However, the description says "in the style of Lalique", "signed R. Lalique".

I'm wondering whether it's real too. Fake and Forged shows quite a few forgeries, but they also do not show a "real" mark like yours.

 

Even if real, the condition issues destroys the value.

 

Here's the mark on a liveauctioneers.com one.

thats a "chip" ?

agree with
Mark, Even if real, the condition destroys the value.

 

Does not look like a real mark to me.......

 

The quality doesnt strike me as Lalique either.

 

I think you're right.

Looks like there were many signatures.

 

According to this website, signatures are usually a little more inconspicuous. Interesting reading! Rene Lalique: Fakes, Imitations, Forged Marks (realorrepro.com)

 

Definitely!

"Generally, all authentic pre-1945 Lalique markings are very small, rarely over 1/8" high. The lettering style is very plain with all letters being the same width and no decorative flourishes at the end of the letters. Marks on genuine pieces appear in inconspicuous places like bottom rims or worked into the design.

Forged marks, in contrast, are made to stand out and be seen so they are frequently placed in a prominent position and are relatively large, up to 1/2" high. Forged marks frequently use fancy and decorative styles of lettering."

OP's certainly still looks forged, at least according to this source.
