Beautiful antique French Art Nouveau scenic art glass bowl, attributed to Legras / Legras & Cie or a closely related French Art Nouveau glassmaker. This small cabinet-size bowl features a warm amber, peach, yellow, and green ground with a hand-painted landscape scene that wraps around the exterior and continues into the interior.
The decoration includes dark tree linework, stippled green foliage, distant hills, shoreline or water details, and small sailboat-like forms. The bowl has an attractive rounded body with a four-sided / quadrilobed pinched rim, giving it a distinctive Art Nouveau display shape.
The surface has a frosted or semi-matte textured finish with hand-painted scenic decoration. The warm color palette, mottled green landscape effect, dark tree silhouettes, and lake/shoreline motif are strongly associated with early 20th-century French Art Nouveau decorative glass, especially pieces in the Legras style.
This piece is unsigned, so it is being sold as attributed to Legras / Legras style, not as a guaranteed signed Legras example. Attribution is based on the form, color palette, scenic decoration, textured surface, and comparison to similar French Art Nouveau scenic glass.
A beautiful small antique art glass display piece for a cabinet, shelf, collection, or decorative grouping.
