Legras Vase From The Indiana Series, With A Poppy Design
Artist: Legras, Saint Denis
Legras – “Indiana” Series, circa 1900–1910
A rare cylindrical vase made of multilayered glass by Legras, part of the “Indiana” series, characteristic of the artistic production of the Saint-Denis factory in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The vase features a remarkable design of poppies, etched and acid-engraved into the various layers of glass. The red flowers stand out against a background of shades of red, brown, and dark green, creating a particularly decorative effect of depth. The design is complemented by rich gilded accents, notably on the three-pointed notched neck and at the base.
The “Indiana” series is now well documented: a piece in the collection of the François Décorchemont Glass Museum is dated to around 1900 and described as made of blown, enameled, engraved, and gilded glass. Another example from the series, held at the Powerhouse Museum, is dated to around 1900–1914.
This production is part of Legras’s major Art Nouveau period, when the Saint-Denis factory was producing art glass featuring acid-etched, enameled, and gilded floral designs. The Indiana series is particularly distinguished by its poppy motifs, which have become emblematic of certain models produced by the company.
Period: circa 1900–1910.
Artist / Manufacturer: François-Théodore Legras, Verrerie de Saint-Denis.
Series: Indiana.
Technique: multilayered glass, acid-etched design, and gilded accents.
