HERITAGE

Among them was the poppy motif for the window panes of the Coty store in New York, the scarab motif for the Capricornes perfume flacon, the parallel stripes for the Lentilles flacon, and the butterflies on the Misti flacon for L.T. Piver as well as the graphic design of its box. Her later creations included a perfume flacon for Colgate’s The Unknown Flower (1913), a set of four flacons and one powder box presented in a glass box for D’Orsay (1927), and the Canarina flacon and box (1928). She also designed several powder boxes, some of them using the powder puff motif, as well as the Véronique (1919) and Geneviève (1920) boxes. Her large platters, bowls and vases are extraordinary, ornamented with geometric patterns of vigorous and masculine beauty, such as the Tourbillons (1926), Penthièvre (1926) and Languedoc (1929) vases as well as the extremely rare Montargis (1929) in black glass with a white patina.
