AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large antique Art Nouveau crystal vase with high-relief enamel decoration of pine cones – ca. 1910, attributed to Legras & Cie. / School of Nancy. 20 cm high x 7.5 cm wide.
An elegant, substantial Art Nouveau vase made of thick-walled clear crystal glass, featuring a refined and tactile enamel relief decoration. The vase presents a naturalistic portrayal of finely drawn pine needles, between which thickly inlaid branches and pine cones in high relief (enamel appliqué) have been applied. The detailing of the pine cones (Aux pommes de pin) gives the vase a beautiful sense of depth and texture. The undulating lip rim is finely finished with a soft-green border and a stylized ochre Art Nouveau edge.
The underside shows a handsome base area worn smooth by age and use (pontil mark), which attests to the piece’s authentic age and artisanal craftsmanship.
The vase is in excellent antique condition. The glass is clear and free from deep scratches or cracks. The high-relief enamel is very well preserved with vibrant colors. Normal, characteristic signs of age and wear on the underside of the foot in keeping with its age. This vase is in wonderfully bright condition with no chips or cracks.
We carefully package and ship with Track & Trace.
