Émile Gallé - Cristallerie Nancy vase with silver fittings around 1895
Art Nouveau museum object. Beautiful early cup vase by Émile Gallé, Nancy-France.
In addition to the glass art itself, the vase with the clematis motif impresses with the additional floral, hand-forged silver fittings on the base and neck of the vase.
In addition to the master's mark "MV", this silver mount is marked with the "Minerve Casquée 1" hallmark from Paris, which stands for high-alloy 950 silver.
This beautiful, openwork, sculptural silver work depicts ivy entwining. Each silver part (on the neck as well as on the base) is hallmarked twice.
The glass body is made of colorless glass with milky white/violet powder melts and is overlaid in multiple layers of violet and sculpted.
The surface is fire polished. Signed with needle etching on the bottom of the vase with "Cristallerie Gallé à Nancy.
Modele et decor deposés". This signature was used between 1895-1897.
