Vase; France, late nineteenth century.
Glass.
It has slight scratches.
Signed Gallé.
Measurements: 32 x 18 cm (diameter).
This vase, of unique design, is worked in cameo glass, which is to make a piece with two or more layers of glass of different color so that, after immersion in acid, the decorative motif is in relief on a smooth background of different color. It has acid-etched decoration with floral motifs.
Gallé imposed the characteristics of a style that evolved into free and refined expressions, applying a huge variety of themes and decorative techniques on opaque and colored glass, which continue to amaze today. Currently you can see pieces made by Emile Gallé in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Orsay Museum in Paris, the Brohan Museum in Berlin and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among many others.
Slight scratches.
