Large Cornet Legras Vase In Turkish Blue Blown Glass 50 Cm Creation For The Universe Exhibition Paris De 1889

Spectacular vase called "English" cornet in the commercial plates of the Legras catalogs created by the Verrerie of the same name located in Saint Denis to be presented at the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1889 then that of 1900. Made in glass of several colors (between others blue, yellow, green, pink), a large hot-welded gadrooned ball which could be either of the same color or of a different color at the customer's choice connects the widely open cone to his foot. Each piece, in blown glass, was made manually by the workers, which explains the differences in shape and size depending on the pieces for an identical reference. Dimensions: Height: 51, 8 cm Diameter of the base: 20, 5 cm Diameter of the opening: 17, 8 cm Ideal for a "winter garden" atmosphere of the end of the XIXth / beginning of the XXth century or to bring a touch of color and charm to your kitchen or simply for the flowers with large stems that will decorate your living room. Good condition but it is old and has been used. It therefore has traces of use and age, scratches from time. A second vase of the same series, this time yellow, is put up for sale in another advertisement (see the last photo with the two vases).
