- "Magnolia" Pitcher
- incised Gallé
- carved and hammered marqueterie-sur-verre cameo glass
Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person the glass presents with a subtle martele which enhances the delicacy of the piece. The glass with a few air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distractive. With a few larger air bubbles to the edge of the base, not at all visually distracting. The glass surfaces with minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. The lower part of the handle with a few minute imperfections inherent in the making. A wonderful example of Galle’s early works.
