"Multi-layer Glass Paste Vase Signed Legras, Art Nouveau Period "
This multi-layer glass paste vase by Legras is part of Art Nouveau, a movement from the late 19th and early 20th centuries inspired by nature and organic forms.Its slender silhouette and relief decoration reveal the expertise of the glassmakers at the crystal factory founded by François-Théodore Legras.
Using the multi-layer glass technique, several layers of colored glass were superimposed and then finely engraved to create effects of depth and contrast, thus playing with light.
The plant motifs, in nuanced hues, seem to unfold naturally on the surface of the vase. This balance between form and decoration illustrates Art Nouveau's desire to integrate art into everyday life.
