In 1928-1929, Braque executed four compositions in preparation for four marble mosaic panels to be installed in the dining room floor of art dealer Paul Rosenberg’s Paris apartment at 21 rue La Boëtie.  Braque gave the preparatory compositions and the CMA painting to Rosenberg. When Rosenberg sold the apartment in 1949, the marble panels were removed from the floor and made into table tops resting on wrought iron bases, also designed by Braque.  The table made after The Crystal Vase was in the Paris collection of Rosenberg’s daughter, Micheline, at the time of Alexandre’s donation of the painting to the Cleveland Museum of Art.
