Edgar Brandt and George Bastard created this vase for the ocean liner S.S. Normandie. It came in two sizes: the larger 13 in. model was for the public rooms, and the slightly smaller 10 in. version was used in deluxe staterooms. Each is impressed with the CGT logo of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique.
