This vase is a remarkable example of the Art Deco style of which René Lalique was one of the main exponents in the field of glassware. In Lalique's extremely diverse work, plant-based forms are often stylised with a sense of clarity and geometry that his well-balanced modernism leaves entirely intact. The scrolls, whose form takes inspiration from brambles, are carved in deep relief, giving the vase an almost sculptural quality and demonstrating great technical ability.

The dramatic differences in the thickness of the glass can only be achieved via at least three days of refiring at gradually decreasing temperatures. The enamel decoration, rarely seen so clearly, requires an extra firing. At this time, glass was shaped using the press-moulding technique: molten glass was poured into a mould onto which a counter-mould was lowered using a piston to push the glass into the corners.

The seams formed where the two halves of the mould came together were intentionally left visible by Lalique. This exceptional vase, one of the most expensive of Lalique's pieces from this period, is proof that industrial mass production can achieve a result approaching artisanal quality.
