FRANÇOIS THEODORE LEGRAS. France, ca. 1910.Pair of Art Nouveau vases.Blown glass in various layers of colour and enamelled with floral decorations.Signed.Procedure: Private Collection, Spain between 1970-1990.Measurements: 44 cm (height) x 12 cm (diameter).Pair of Art Nouveau vases of slender structure, with rounded, circular and low foot, flared belly narrower at the base and prominent shoulders. Both vases are blown glass, in different layers of hand-applied colour, depicting light poppies set against an orange background, emerald-green at the bottom.The firm of F. Th. Legras was founded by Auguste Jean-François Legras (1817 - 1887) around 1864 in St. Denis, near Paris. At the beginning of the 20th century, the firm specialised in the production of acid-etched cameo glass, inspired by Gallé's pieces. Legras & Cie. produced a multitude of pieces for sale, as well as several of particular quality for display at international fairs.
ÉMILE GALLÉ (Nancy, France, 1846 - 1904).Vase, ca. 1920.Acid-etched cameo glass.Signed on the reverse.Procedure: Private Collection, Spain between 1970-1990.Measurements: 13 x 8 x 6 cm.Acid-etched cameo glass vase, with an ovoid body and curved mouth. It is decorated with floral decoration that is freely arranged on the surface, as is typical of Gallé cameo glass. It is composed of two layers of glass, yellow, white and green in colour, cut at different levels to create tonal variations and details that add three-dimensionality to the flowers.Gallé presented his acid-etched cameo technique at the Paris Exhibition of 1889, with the aim of bringing Art Nouveau glass to the public. It was a quicker and cheaper form of decoration, resulting in more affordable, mass-produced but handmade pieces, as no stencils were used and the motif was hand-drawn on each piece.Émile Gallé began his career working for his father, who owned a glass and ceramics factory, producing designs with floral and heraldic motifs. Very interested in botany, he studied it in depth during his youth, alternating with drawing classes. Between 1862 and 1864, at his father's request, he travelled around Italy, England and Germany, taking an interest in the applied arts but also in subjects that he would later reflect in his works, such as music, philosophy and nature. On his return he settled in Meisenthal, where his family's glass furnaces were located, in order to fully learn the craft of glassmaking. He also travelled to London and Paris to see the collections of their museums. In 1874 he took over his father's factory and soon achieved great international success, winning prizes at International Exhibitions and selling works to important collections and museums. Today, works by Emile Gallé can be seen in the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Orsay Museum in Paris, the Brohan Museum in Berlin and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among many others.Nature is one of the main sources of inspiration for Gallé, whose style is characterised by the naturalistic rendering of the elements, as if observed through a macro, at a large size, or in the form of landscapes. This piece is worked with hydrofluoric acid, which was Gallé's main industrial production technique. It is a cameo glass, which consists of making a piece with two or more layers of glass of different colours so that, after immersion in the acid, the decorative motif is in relief on a plain background of a different colour. The decoration in this case has three levels, with variations in relief, the dark motif on the light background and, finally, a twilight sky in ochre tones. Gallé presented his acid-etched cameo technique at the Paris Exhibition of 1889, with the aim of bringing Art Nouveau glass to the public. This was a quicker and cheaper form of decoration, resulting in more affordable pieces, which were mass-produced but handmade, as no stencils were used and the motif was drawn by hand on each piece.
LOETZ. Czech Republic, ca. 1910.Art Nouveau vase.Blown glass.No signature.Vases of similar characteristics and decorations at www.loetz.com/decoraciones.Provenance: Spanish private collection, formed between 1970 and 1995.Measurements: 30 cm (height); 11 cm (largest diameter).Art Nouveau vase of clear floral inspiration, made in yellow glass, iridescent on the inside. It is made using the air-blowing technique, and the organic appearance of the upper part, imitating a leaf, has been obtained by hot modelling the glass, using tweezers and other tools. The iridescent, multicoloured and irregular appearance of the upper part is typical of Art Nouveau glass, characterised by its ornamental sense and technical experimentation.The quality of the materials and the workmanship of the glass is common in the Loetz firm, especially in the use of iridescent glass, widely used in Central European modernism, characterised by its chromatism, which changes according to the angle of incidence of light on its surface, and by its metallic appearance. This material, the result of intensive technical research carried out in the artistic glass workshops of the second half of the 19th century, is obtained by adding various metallic oxides to the base mass of glass.Loetz, founded in 1840, was a pioneer in the use of new techniques and materials, following the line of experimentation of the glass artists of the second half of the 19th century. The firm took part in the 1889 Paris International Exhibition, where its pieces were unanimously acclaimed by the critics.
