"Multi-layer Glass Paste Vase Signed Legras, Art Nouveau Period"
This multi-layer glass paste vase by Legras is part of the Art Nouveau style, characterized by its inspiration drawn from nature and its work of glass in relief. Its decoration of vine leaves and bunches of grapes, finely acid-etched and enhanced with gold enamel, evokes the elegance of the creations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Legras, a master glassmaker renowned for his works with plant motifs, was able to give this vase a beautiful material effect, with a textured background contrasting with the finesse of the details. A piece that reflects all the know-how of the time, with a subtle play between opacity and transparency.
