Note: In Greek mythology, the god of wild partying was Dionysus. Wiki has the best one line description: He was the god of frenzies, festivities, spiritual ecstasy, wine, and alcohol in general. His female followers were known as Bacchae, Bassarides, or Bacchantes. Perhaps the greatest Greek tragedy ever written was Euripides' The Bacchae, a play that premiered in 405 BC. In the play the Bacchantes are portrayed in a vividly fantastical way. Later the Romans would have their Dionysus equivalent, the Jupiter son Bacchus. His female followers were also known as Bacchantes. Some of Lalique's greatest works in glass arose from his interpretations of mythical figures, because they represented a blank canvas that he could fully inform with his creative talents. This vase is a classic representation of those talents. See The Entire Catalogue Of: Rene Lalique Vases
