    It has been nearly ten years since I have read about Lalique, but I
    remember that it was 'plique-a-jour' not plique de jour and that it
    means 'open to the day'->  because it is not backed in metal but
    open like little stained glass windows- open to the day.   This is
    why it is such an uncommom technique- it's virtue is it's downfall
    in it's fragility. From Colleen Baran
