Description
French pink painted cameo glass vase, Legras & Cie
Height: 6.25"
Legras & Cie
Legras & Cie was established by Auguste Jean-Francois Legras in about 1864. By the end of the century it had specialised in acid-etched and enamelled cameo glass inspired by that made by Émile Gallé, France’s leading maker of decorative glass in the fashionable Art Nouveau style. During the first decade of the 1900s Legras & Cie became a major exponent of the École de Nancy (School of Nancy) led by Galle. The firm produced a wide variety of commercial art-glass, both cameo and painted in enamels, but also made some large high-quality pieces for international exhibitions-- only a few of these more elaborate examples have survived.
