Antique Legras Enamelled Cameo Glass Vase – Early 20th Century
A superb example of French Art Nouveau glass artistry, this Antique Legras Cameo Glass Vase captures the serene beauty of rural life with elegance and finesse. Crafted in the early 20th century, this cylindrical vase features a softly flared rim and rounded base, with a frosted amber ground that sets the stage for a delicately enamelled pastoral scene.
Depicting a peasant woman gathering harvest beneath a wind-swept tree, the hand-enamelled landscape is richly detailed in earthy tones of ochre, russet, and slate blue, enhanced by the dimensional cameo carving technique. The composition flows gracefully around the vase’s surface, evoking the gentle rhythm of countryside life.
Attributed to Legras, a renowned French glassmaker celebrated for his nature-inspired designs and technical mastery in layered glass, this piece reflects both artistic vision and exceptional craftsmanship.
