Pair De Vases En Verre Enamelled , Decor De Violettes , Theodore Legras , Givré XIXe Art Nouveau

Antique pair of satin-finish frosted glass vases.

These vases feature an elegant, slender baluster form emphasized by a fine gilded border at the neck.
They are decorated in polychrome enamel with delicate violets in shades of mauve and lilac, accompanied by soft green foliage . The quality of the hand-painted decoration and the satin-finish treatment of the glass are characteristic of the Legras glassworks' output during the Art Nouveau period.

The combination of frosted glass and naturalistic floral decoration perfectly conveys the aesthetics of the Belle Époque.

Theodore Legras

Théodore Legras founded one of the most important French glassworks of the late 19th century in Saint-Denis. His factory enjoyed great success thanks to its creations combining technical innovation and decorative refinement. Legras products are distinguished by their multi-layered glass, enamelled decorations and naturalistic motifs inspired by flora. Presented at numerous international exhibitions, the work of Legras today stands as a major testimony to French Art nouveau glassmaking.
