Footnote
Also known as Facettes triangulaires, this mould blown vase was developed from a design by Suzanne Lalique, René Lalique's daughter. Her inspiration in turn is understood to have come from a small Jap.anese box in the collection of Philippe Burty who was an early collector of Japanese art in the 1860s. (See Suzanne Lalique Haviland Le Décor Réinventé, Musée Lalique, Limoges, 2012, p.68.)
