The large version of the “Orchidée” planter was produced by Müller under the<br />
serial number 365, but we do not have the serial number for the small versions.<br />
The inscriptions on the bottom “T.6” and “No 5” on this piece differ from those of<br />
another version which has the inscriptions “T.2” and “No 2”. The exact meaning<br />
of these inscriptions is not known. We do not know how many copies Müller<br />
executed, his editions were not numbered and supply followed demand. We do<br />
know of at least 4 different examples of the model that came onto the art market<br />
in the last 10 years.<br />
This specific planter belonged to the collection of Philippe and later Marcel<br />
<strong>Wolfers</strong> and starred in numerous museum exhibitions.
