Lanvin Arpège (1927)

Arpège has come in the same black glass ball since 1927. Armand-Albert Rateau designed the boule and Verreries Brosse made it, and the gold drawing on its face is Paul Iribe's image of Jeanne Lanvin leaning toward her daughter, a picture that went on to become the emblem of the whole house. Few bottles carry their maker's logo so literally, and against the clear glass elsewhere in this gallery the black sphere stands out at once.
