FRANÇOIS THEODORE LEGRAS. Verreries Montjoye, Saint Denis, ca. 1910. Large Art Nouveau vase. Blown glass. No signature. Procedure: Private Collection, Spain between 1970-1990. Measures: 51,5 x 22 x 22 cm. Elegant Art Nouveau vase, from the house of Legras, with floral decoration applied by hand in enamel, based on sensual mauve petal tulips, which emerge from a background in gradations of violet and pearly tones. 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.
