Gallé (Galle), Dragonfly Banjo Vase

Dragonflies are the best subject matter for French cameo glass. They are the epitome of Art Nouveau and essentially double the value of a vase without a dragonfly. Gallé (Galle) loved dragonflies and used them from time to time. They are very desirable. 

This example is what you should look for. It's got the best color I've ever had on a Gallé (Galle) banjo vase. The usual color scheme is to use light orange dragonflies. I've had them in blue before but never with such intense blues and purples on a salmon background. This example is the cat's meow.

Nice cabinet size at 7". Signed "Gallé (Galle)" in cameo in the pond water. Mint condition.
