Artist: émile Gallé (1846-1904)
Émile Gallé (1846–1904)
Miniature chalice inspired by Japanese tea and/or sake ceremonies, Nancy, circa 1885–1890
Authentic Émile Gallé Miniature Sake / Tea Cup or Cabinet Vase with Enameled Chrysanthemums, France, circa 1885–1890
A fine and rare French Art Nouveau miniature chalice shaped by Émile Gallé, dating from his celebrated early Japonisme period (circa 1885–1890).
Blown in pale green-tinted textured glass with an optic/martelé effect, the piece features finely hand-enameled and gilded decoration depicting stylized chrysanthemum blossoms and curling foliage.
The shape is closely derived from Japanese tea ceremony and sake drinking vessels (guinomi and san-san-kudo), reflecting Gallé’s deep scholarly fascination with Far Eastern botanical and decorative arts.
Hand-signed in enamel under the base: « E Gallé ».
Height: 5 cm (approx. 1.57 in)
Excellent original antique condition with no chips, cracks, or restorations. Minor expected surface wear consistent with age.
