Vase; France, late nineteenth century.
Glass.
Signed Gallé.
Measurements: 41 x 18 cm (diameter).
Vase made in acid-etched cameo glass, with a naturalistic and asymmetrical plant design, based on large motifs, typical of the language of Gallé. In fact the cameo glass is known since ancient times, although it was taken up again in the late nineteenth century in France and England.
Émile Gallé began his career working for his father, who owned a glass and ceramics factory, making designs with floral and heraldic motifs. Very interested in botany, he studied it in depth during his youth, alternating with drawing classes. Between 1862 and 1864, at his father's request, he traveled through Italy, England and Germany, becoming interested in the applied arts but also in subjects that he would later reflect in his works, such as music, philosophy and nature.
