Double vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Double vase by René Lalique. The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a decorative glass vase. The vase is made of clear glass on the left and dark glass on the right. The clear glass on the left is irregularly shaped with jagged edges and has the numbers '828' etched into it. The dark glass on the right is shaped like a plant with a thick stem and several large leaves protruding from the top. The background is a plain wall with a horizontal line running across it, and the vase sits on a reflective surface.
