Vivier-Seguin (1941), using Seguin's own description: a large round basin 90 cms tall rests on an octagonal base and has two small basins attached to the large bowl, but as V-S indicate they hardly deserve the name ("leur hauteur ne dépasse guère celle du socle"). It is a rather peculiar design as the auxiliary basin is located almost at floor level.
