One of René Lalique's most celebrated designs, the Bacchantes vase was first created in 1927 and remains an icon of Art Deco glassmaking. The sensuous bas-relief depicts the young priestesses of Bacchus—the Maenads of Greek mythology—in a graceful round dance celebrating the god of wine. Each piece requires approximately 30 hours of skilled craftsmanship to complete.
