Gallé (Galle), Crystallerie Vase

Gallé (Galle) Crystallerie items are the earliest production, dating from the 1880s to the 1890s. They are almost always transparent, with different types of workmanship and different shapes. The focus of this vase is a lakeside scene painted en grisaille (all one color, in this case black). It is surrounded by colorful floral decoration painted in enamel, which has been fired. On the reverse, there is an enameled butterfly. Gilding was used for the fine detail in the brances and stems, as well as the geometric decoration around the rim. Not too big, not too small, at 5" tall. Perfect enameled signature on the underside. Mint condition.
