Vase with a lid and depiction of an orchid

1889-90

Emile Gallé, Nancy

Mount: Bapst et Falize, Paris

Cast, chased and carved silver, partially gilded

A considerable role in the decorative effect of the vases was played by silver, partially gilded mounts at the base featuring lizards created by the leading Parisian jeweller Lucien Falize. Sadly they have not survived.
