From the 1880s on, Gallé often inscribed literary quotations in his works, quotations associated with the work's theme or its inspiration. They evoke connections that are deeply moving to the person viewing his world of decoration and form. Those works, which he termed "glass that speaks," added a new depth to Gallé's richly lyrical world view. This masterpiece, a wine bottle with a quotation praising intoxication inscribed in it, integrates the functional, decorative, and literary.
