“A black telephone, a notepad, a tortoiseshell propelling pencil, a minute conical paperweight with a base less than an inch in diameter but whose small size does not prevent it from weighing three "troy ounces", that is to say 93 grammes, and a Gallé soliflor containing a purple moonflower, a variety of everlasting flower also called Star of the Nile, combine to clutter the table's narrow top.”

“Examples include the soliflor that turns into a candleholder (1981); the "Bellman " drinking glasses she designed to pay explicit tribute to anonymous objects (1982); and the small oil bottle that draws attention to its spherical stopper, which is only bevelled so it doesn't roll away.”

“Six Etablissements Gallé soliflor vases 1904-1936. This type of soliflor was made many times.”
