Gallé (Galle), Abutilon vase

Gallé (Galle), Abutilon vase

ITEM # 2511038

Abutilon flowers don't grow in the east because they can't take the cold, so the first time I saw the flower on a vase, I couldn't identify it. Then I got help from a gentleman in California who was growing the flower. It's a pretty flower that's depicted beautifully on this vase, utilizing the windowpane technique, so the pink-red of the flowers doesn't mix with the yellow of the background. Great footed shape, 6½" tall x 6½" diameter. Signed in cameo on the side of the vase. Mint condition.

Gallé (Galle), Blownout clematis vase

Gallé (Galle), Blownout clematis vase

ITEM # 2501011

Gallé (Galle) blownout vases with an extra layer of color are rarer and more attractive than vases without one. In this case the white layer creates better contrast and opacity, making the flowers pop.  This is a special example.  6½" tall.  Signed.  Mint condition.

Gallé (Galle), Blownout Crocus

Gallé (Galle), Blownout Crocus

ITEM # 3103001

Gallé (Galle) blownout vases were produced in molds. Subject matter varies from flowers to fruit to animals. They are all rarer and more desirable than most vases that are not blownout. Standard acid-etching techniques were used after the molten glass was formed in a mold with compressed air. Crocus blownout vases come in a variety of colors. This example, with pink-red crocus flowers, is exceptionally pretty. And a nice little added touch is the original Gallé (Galle) sticker on the bottom ETABLTS GALLÉ·PARIS·NANCY and hand-numbered 31873. 8¼" tall. Cameo signature on the side of the vase Gallé (Galle). Mint condition.    

Gallé (Galle), Blownout hyacinth vase

Gallé (Galle), Blownout hyacinth vase

ITEM # 2608009

Gallé (Galle) blownout vases were produced in molds. Subject matter varies from flowers to fruit to animals. They are all rarer and more desirable than similar vases that are not blownout. This fantastic example is a blownout Hyacinth vase. It's quite special because the color is vibrant and the technique is windowpane. This technique framed the flowers with no color behind them, so the yellow color of the background doesn't mix with the red of the flowers (creating orange flowers). Impressive cabinet size at 12" tall. Acid-etched cameo signature on the side of the vase Gallé (Galle). Mint condition.

Magnolia is a very showy flower. It's colorful and beautiful, with superior workmanship. The shape is also lovely, because it's slightly flattened, with an oval mouth. The 9¾" size is substantial and perfect for a cabinet. Very fancy Gallé (Galle) cameo signature on the side of the vase. Mint condition.

Gallé (Galle), Scenic vase

Gallé (Galle), Scenic vase

ITEM # 3401002

Gallé (Galle) scenic vases come in all size, shapes and colors. The vases with mountains, like this example, come in great colors, with purple, blue and green. The frosted background allows the color of the trees not to mix with the background color. That's why the contrast  and the color are so lovely. The shape is the classical teardrop form. At 8" tall, it's the perfect cabinet size. The signature Gallé (Galle) is acid-etched in the background, toward the bottom of the vase. Mint condition.
