Large Silver Plated Oval Form Champagne Bath Approximately 22 Inches Wide x 15 Inches High with Engraved Famous Lily Bollinger Motto. "I drink champagne when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am".
Born Élisabeth Law Lauriston-Boubers (1899 - 1977) near Reims, she was the head of the Bollinger Champagne business from 1941 to 1971.

Bollinger was the daughter of Baron Olivier Law of Lauriston-Boubers and Berthe de Marsay. She married Jacques Bollinger (1894-1941), general manager of Bollinger Champagne and grandson of founder Jacques Joseph Bollinger, on 10 November 1923.
Lily took over the presidency of the Bollinger house after the death of her husband in 1941 and directed it until 1971. She launched the Bollinger RD vintage in 1961 and the vintage Vieilles Vignes Françaises in 1969, putting the brand on the international stage.
