Following models by FRANÇOIS THEODORE LEGRAS. Pair of vases. Blown and engraved glass, enamelled with landscape. Without signature. Slight chipping on the inside of the mouthpiece (not visible). Procedure: Private Collection, Spain between 1970-1990. Measurements: 39,5 x 10,5 x 10,5 cm. Pair of French blown and engraved glass vases. The decoration in enamels, covering the whole body, represents a lake landscape drawn in tans and green veined tones on amber gradations, in dégradée. The firm of F. Th. Legras was founded by Auguste Jean-François Legras (1817 - 1887) around 1864 in St. Denis, near Paris. At the beginning of the 20th century, the firm specialised in the production of acid-etched cameo glass, inspired by Gallé's pieces. Legras & Cie. produced a multitude of pieces for sale, as well as several of particular quality for display at international fairs.
