AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This vase is an authentic piece from the famous André Delatte workshop, founded in Nancy in the 1920s. It is a fine example of work on multi-layered glass, typical of the Nancy school, although Delatte distinguished himself with a style often more restrained than his contemporaries such as Gallé or Daum.
Here is a detailed description based on your visuals and the dimensions provided:
Silhouette and Shape
The vase features a so-called "soliflore" form, particularly slender.
• The neck: Very long and narrow (cylindrical), it emphasizes the verticality of the object.
• The body: It is oval or "teardrop"-shaped, offering a striking contrast with the slender neck.
• Dimensions: With a height of 41 cm and a base of only 7 cm, the piece has a sculptural and graceful, almost architectural, appearance.
Visual aspect and Material
The work with material is characteristic of the Art Deco period:
• Colors: The vase wears a warm robe in terracotta tones, burnt orange and ochre. One observes a speckling or interleaved colored powders effect, creating a visual texture reminiscent of natural stone or a nebula.
• Finish: The surface seems to have a satin look, probably obtained by an acid treatment, which gives the glass that peach-skin feel and this soft diffusion of light.
