Both decorative and functional, this object suggests a \u003cstrong\u003eflower-holder bowl designed to adorn the center of a small table\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the small central vase able to hold a single flower or a small bouquet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape, surprisingly geometric and almost architectural, appears relatively \u003cstrong\u003erestrained compared to the most exuberant creations of Auguste Jean\u003c\/strong\u003e.
