Jade-like blue-green glass cased with pink glass has produced a cattleya flower in relief. Then a cattleya in full bloom was fused, three dimensionally, at its top. The dewdrops on the petals express abundant life force. (Paragon or Puzzle? Your Own Perspectives on Works in the Suntory Museum of Art Collection, 2024) Gallé skillfully used both appliqué, applying melted glass to the body of a work, and engraving to create a three-dimensional, realistic, catteleya orchid. When seen from the front, it displays a large cattleya flower in bloom, but the other one in behind looks weak. The front and back of this vase express life and death as one body.
