Condition
The vase with a couple of air bubbles within the foot, and some very small air bubbles within the walls of the vase itself. The largest of these is approximately 3 mm wide. These are a result of the manufacturing process. Light scratching to the interior consistent with age and a number of dark inclusions also consistent with manufacturing process. A technically demanding and modern piece.

Catalogue Note
Ce vase appartient à une petite série d'oeuvres créée à la suite de la commande de la société Solvay & Cie d'un vase commémorant les trente ans de l'usine soudière de Dombasle et aujourd'hui conservé au Musée de l'Ecole de Nancy. L'aspect marbré du verre et les coulées en verre églomisé devaient évoquer le processus d'extraction et de traitement de la soude. Quelques vase de formes diverses inspirés de cette commande, dont le nôtre, furent ensuite réalisées entre 1903 et 1904.
This vase is one of a small series of artworks inspired by the vase commissioned by the company Solvay & Cie for the 30-year anniversary of its Dombasle soda manufactory. The vase is retained in the Musée de l’Ecole de Nancy. The marble aspect and the verre églomisé prunts evoke the soda extraction and treatment process. Some vases with different forms inspired by this technique, including the offered lot, were created between 1903 and 1904.
