Gallè cameo glass vase with floral motifs in purple tones, France 20th century
Description:
Elegant cameo glass vase attributable to the Gallé manufactory, made in France in the early decades of the 20th century, probably in the Lorraine region, a vital center for Art Nouveau glass production.
The body is obtained by acid etching on multiple superimposed layers of glass, a technique typical of Gallé production, which allows for a soft and velvety relief. The decoration features stylized floral motifs in purple tones, with a refined play of transparencies and depths that enhances the naturalistic rendering of the petals and leaves.
The slender shape and the chromatic choice are fully in line with the Art Nouveau taste, with the usual balance between formal elegance and celebration of the vegetal world.
