In 1945, after the death of his father, Marc Lalique took over the reins of the Lalique company. 
He used his technical knowledge to renovate and modernise the factory in Wingen-sur-Moder. 
Lalique quickly took its place among the greatest French and foreign crystal manufacturers, and the contrast between transparency and satin-finish that is characteristic of the brand became famous throughout the world.
Marc Lalique's works include the Ange glass, which takes the motif of the smiling angel from Reims cathedral as a nod to the Lalique family's origins, and the bottle for the famous perfume L'Air du Temps, for Nina Ricci.

He died in 1977, leaving the reins of the Lalique crystal works to his daughter Marie-Claude.
