Emile GALLE (1846-1904) - Lot 222
Emile GALLE (1846-1904)
Small vase in white and violet glass with acid-etched decoration of berries and leaves
Signed Gallé on the base, circa 1905-1906
Height : 10,5 cm
Note : This small vase signed Émile Gallé is a refined illustration of the naturalist aesthetic for which the artist and the École de Nancy were renowned. Made of multi-layered glass in delicate shades of white and violet, it is adorned with an acid-etched decoration of berries and leaves, an emblematic technique that reveals plant motifs with great finesse. The softness of the colors, the quality of the workmanship and the elegance of the silhouette bear witness to the exceptional expertise developed in Gallé's workshops at the turn of the twentieth century.
A major figure in Art Nouveau, Émile Gallé revolutionized the art of glassmaking, using nature as an inexhaustible source of inspiration and technical innovation. His creations, sought-after the world over, now occupy an essential place in the greatest collections devoted to the decorative arts. Produced shortly after the master's death, around 1905-1906, this vase belongs to the most sought-after period of Gallé production, when the workshops faithfully perpetuated his artistic legacy. With its poetic decoration, fine craftsmanship and attractive format, this work is a choice acquisition for Art Nouveau enthusiasts and collectors of French glassware.
