The Glass Bottle

[ronrick1943]

I just can’t figure this out and just curious about it.  In the restaurant La Dame I keep seeing an glass bottle on the tables, it has a golden lady with grapes on the front.  It’s never full of anything.  Is it a wine decanter, a water bottle, a vase or just a decorative piece?  It’s nice, but what is it for?

I can let you know when I dine there on The Muse👍.  I didn't eat there on The Moon so cannot answer but I am sure someone on here knows and can help you.

Just a guess but I would think it is related to the Silversea Lalique partnership.  When the Shadow was remodeled, it was totally featured in the "new" LaDame.

It is a decorative piece. Very beautiful! I agree it is probably related to the Lalique partnership. I've never attached photos but will try now. You should be able to see it from the front and the side to give you a better idea of its shape.

Ohhhhhhh.....I did see it.  I stopped by La Dame while on The Moon to look around and totally forgot I did see this on the tables.  Yes, it is part of Lalique.

Thanks, so it has no purpose, other than decorative?

[mofrances]

You know, I was just about to confirm that it is indeed just a decorative piece. But I suppose maybe it could be used as a decanter? We didn't order a bottle of wine so I don't know.

You are all quite correct - it is Lalique Glass - however on my recent cruise on the Moon - the Sommelier took my bottle which I chose from the Connoisseur’s  wine list and decanted it into the usual decanter, and didn’t use the Lalique glass bottle at all.

 

kindest regards

Odd, but it’s intriguing to men for some reason.

It looks like something you might grab by the neck to wield if you were swept up in an old fashioned western saloon brawl!!  Just don't slice the pianner player, hoss!

That's a Freudian slip if I ever saw one. I think that we men know the reason!

JP -

Exactly!  Men are just naturally attracted to old fashioned western saloon brawls!!

This is really odd, because I didn’t write this one.

Not all that interesting or attractive, Lalique or not!  Luckily, the rest of the ship’s decor looks lovely.
