- signed in cameo Gallé
- fire-polished cameo glass
Condition
Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the glass presents with a light turquoise with mauve nuances. The glass surfaces with a few minor air bubbles and a few minor imperfections inherent in the making and not at all visually disruptive. The upper part of the neck with a few minor inherent orange inclusions visible in the catalogue illustration. The surface with a few minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The vertical stripes around the neck impart the vase with a strong dynamism, which is very complementary to the lyrical movement of the foliage motifs.
