Gallé (Galle), Crystallerie Thistle Vase

Early Gallé (Galle) vases from the 1890s have steadily gained in popularity over the last few years.  This example is fine and very typical of the period.  The artwork is hand-painted and fired enamel on a clear, pale amber body.  There is no acid-etching, which is the technique that is used on most of the later vases.  The signature is hand-engraved on the underside "E. Gallé (Galle) Nancy".  Nancy is the name of the town in France where the factory began.  Attractive, diminutive size at 6¼".  This model comes much larger, but is more desirable in this smaller size. Mint condition. Priced to sell quickly.
