Art Nouveau glass vase with cameo landscape and sails – France, circa 1910

Refined Art Nouveau vase signed De Vez, attributed to the famous Cristallerie de Pantin, French manufactory tied to the artistic production of Camille Trutié de Varreux (1872–1942), known by the pseudonym De Vez.
Made in multistratified glass worked into a cameo by acid engraving, the vase features a suggestive landscape decor obtained through the overlay and subsequent processing of glass layers of different tones, creating refined relief, transparency, and depth effects.
The composition depicts a lakeside landscape with sailing ships, immersed in a bright atmosphere with delicate blue and azure shades. The scene is framed above by lush vegetation cascading in olive-brown tones, creating an elegant contrast with the opalescent sky and the waters below.
Particularly striking is the delicate pinkish reflection that emerges at the top of the vase, where the sky is encountered by light. This interesting color effect is documented in the photograph in which the vase is shown backlit, held in hand.
The form stands out for its harmoniously elongated body, the small dark circular foot, and especially for the distinctive saddle-shaped neck with two opposite raised ends. A sinuous configuration, traceable to hot glass shaping and fully consistent with the naturalistic aesthetic of Art Nouveau.
The signature “de Vez,” integrated into the decoration, is visible in the detail photographs.
