Legras & Cie

Very beautiful small vase of purse/ball shape with a gilt-edged collar, pinched inward and with an opaque frosted base, free from acid, featuring delicately etched violets also revealed by acid, from the famous French glassmaker François-Théodore Legras (1839-1916). It is part of the Montjoye series and was made in Saint-Denis. The Montjoye gilded stamp is no longer present, but the vase is listed in numerous works including Vitrat's. It bears at the base a small number 8 painted in gold. It is in very good condition, especially given its age: over one hundred years old! No cracks, chips, or scratches. The gilding on the collar, as well as on the leaves and stems of the flowers, is still well-preserved, as is the violet enamel of the acid-etched flower motif. A trace of the pontil polished at the base testifies to the artisanal glassblowing work. This vase is a very beautiful piece, very delicate and as prestigious as those dating from the same period from Daum, Gallé, Muller brothers, Schneider (Le Verre Français), Saint Louis and Baccarat, manufactured and/or designed in Lorraine in eastern France. Dimensions: 5.5 cm in height x 5 cm in diameter. Weight: 50 grams. Carefully observe all the photos which are an integral part of the description. Note to collectors and/or lovers of fine decorative objects. Fast and very careful shipping.
