Pressed molded glass circa 1940 enhanced with a gray patina

The Bacchantes vase is one of Lalique's emblematic creations.
It is one of the rare pieces whose presence in the catalog has been continuous since its creation in 1927.
First of all made of glass, it has been manufactured since 1947 in crystal.
In 2010, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of René Lalique, this vase was revisited with the Bacchantes Revelation vase, by inscribing it in a crystal cube.

René Lalique has been inspired by the representation of the female body throughout his career.
Corresponding from the Bacchantes to the Maenads of Greek mythology.
Here, the young priestesses of Bacchus form a round of sculptural nudes in bas-relief with disturbing sensuality and dance to celebrate the god of wine, vines and excesses.

Heavy pressed glass with a high relief drawing of nudes frolicking highlighted by the Sienna patina all around the exterior in various poses.

Model created in 1927
