Pair Of Art Nouveau Enamel Vases With Irises, Manufacture De Montjoye (legras)

Stunning pair of Solipsisme vases/flower vases featuring irises – Manufacture de Montjoye (Legras) – Art Nouveau period (circa 1900)
​
A very beautiful and rare pair of tubular vases with flared bases on tripod feet made of pinched glass, crafted from translucent crystal by the famous Manufacture de Montjoye / Legras & Cie in Saint-Denis, circa 1900.

​Each vase features a delicate, hand-painted enamel decoration depicting stunning wild irises in purple and yellow with slender foliage. The neck is accented with fine gold leaf. The base, hot-worked, rests on three stylized, attached feet made of tinted glass, highly characteristic of the naturalistic repertoire of Art Nouveau.

​The enamel work is remarkably delicate, lending beautiful depth to the details of the petals and stems.
