One of Lalique’s bestsellers is the Bacchantes vase in clear crystal. Created in 1927 by René Lalique, this vase is an ode to women. It is decorated with a ring of young priestesses of Bacchus, the god of wine and drunkenness in Roman mythology. They reveal their bare and lascivious curves in satin-finish crystal, evoking the fineness of skin texture, while the interplay of light breathes life and movement into the piece. The vase is melted in a cast iron mould and the crystal is pressed inside to fit the shapes. The clear and matte polishing completes the shine and harmony of the piece.
