Émile Gallé – Gourd-Shaped Vase with Clematis Decoration

Elegant gourd-shaped cameo glass vase with a softly opalescent yellow ground, decorated with a delicate floral composition of clematis in shades of purple, finely engraved with acid.

The flowers and foliage extend naturally across the rounded body, creating a harmonious and highly naturalistic composition characteristic of the Art Nouveau period.

The generously rounded body is topped by a subtly flared, undulating rim, while the interplay of opalescence and transparency gives the glass exceptional depth and softness.

Signed “Gallé” in the decoration.

A fine example of Émile Gallé’s celebrated glasswork, reflecting his fascination with the natural world and his mastery of cameo glass.
