Société Musée Lalique Pays Bas

Douze Figurines avec Bouchon Figurine Deep Sepia Stained 

First made in 1920 but the basis for this design originates from february 1915.
Yet Marcilhac says it is 1920 and he is right too,  still the overall design screams Art Nouveau.


Officially Art Nouveau ceased in 1914 with the dawn of the first worldwar.
But to us this design is absolutely Art Nouveau and therefor still a lovesong to Female Holiness as well the love for the micro cosmos.


The change from the antique to the new era (Art Nouveau) was a change from the devotion towards god and living in fear for him (male) to the love for Nature, Human Kind, Everything what lives between the depths of the seas and the heavens like birds, marinelife, insects, flowers and the highest of all: Female Holiness.


Although the basis for life is as well male and female yet the female component for life and the survival of the species appears to be key.
The woomb is the cradle for conception and birth.
There may a thousand men but if there is just one woman there,ll be just one woomb to hold the fruit.


One of he oldest societies were matriarchic.


Lalique was quite into female holiness.
Although he was not an official member of the Masonics he absolutely sympathised with their believes.


Duly Noted!


Douze Figurines avec Bouchon Figurine.


The lower part of this vase is acid frosted with six groups of figurines.
The stopper at the other hand has an almost erotic transparant tranluscentness and evidently depicts a female on top.


And again I say: Douze Figurines avec Bouchon Figurine:


Yes, but the top(ic) is clear.
