Pair Of Trilobed Vases, 1910, Ruby, 16,9", By François-théodore Legras (1839-1916)- Art Nouveau

A majestic and rare pair of large Art Nouveau vases, circa 1910, from the "Rubis" series by master glassmaker François-Théodore Legras (1839-1916), crafted in frosted glass. The elongated, three-sided ovoid shape features trilobed necks, drawn while hot. A continuous decoration of ivy leaves in wine lees and garnet red is acid-etched and enameled. The vases are exceptionally luminous. Each piece bears the Legras signature within the decoration, and a label is still present under the base of one of the vases.

Perfect condition, with very slight variations between two pieces, demonstrating the meticulous craftsmanship of these works.
Height: 16,9".
