Edmond Taigny, whose name is on this vase’s silver pedestal was an auditor of the Council of State during France’s Second Empire and promoted contemporary art, including supporting the establishment of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris. His relationship with Gallé is unclear, but after he acquired this vase in about 1900. He apparently ordered a pedestal for it from a sliversmith in Paris. (『没後120年 エミール・ガレ:憧憬のパリ』サントリー美術館、2024年)
