Gallé (Galle), Crystallerie clematis vase
Item # 1911015
YEAR SOLD: Unavailable
SOLD PRICE: $1,650
Some early Gallé (Galle) vases that were made in the 1890s have the fancy Crystallerie signature on the underside, as this example does. It appears to be a transitional vase to the standard opaque vases that Gallé (Galle) is best known for. Most Crystallerie vases have transparent or translucent backgrounds. After the purple clematis flowers were acid-etched on this vase, the entire vase was polished with the use of a broad flame. That melted the surface glass that cooled to a shine. The technique is called fire-polishing. Very nice detail and deep cutting. 5¼". Signed. Mint condition. Priced to sell quickly.
