Art Nouveau glass paste vase with floral decoration, Emile Gallé Stye
A soliflore vase in glass by Émile Gallé, decorated with a floral motif of fuchsias engraved in cameo and acid on a mauve background.
Measures : Ø 6cm H:16.5cmArtist: Émile Gallé (1846-1904) was a French master glassmaker, cabinetmaker, and ceramicist, a major figure of Art Nouveau and founder of the École de Nancy in 1901.
Technique: The vase is made of multi-layered glass, a technique emblematic of Gallé, where different layers of colored glass are superimposed and then partially removed with acid to create the relief motif (cameo).
Signature: Gallé pieces are generally signed on the body of the work itself, often without initials or a first name, as seen here with the signature "Gallé" at the base of the vase.
Style: Gallé's works are renowned for their naturalistic motifs, inspired by flora and fauna, characteristic of Art Nouveau.
