Created in 1859, on avenue du Président Wilson (formerly avenue de Paris), the Saint-Denis glassworks are closely linked to the career of François-Théodore Legras, who was its manager from 1867.
He arrived in Saint-Denis at the age of 24, and went from being a simple worker to the director of the glassworks in just three years.
He never stopped modernising and expanding the means of production, mobilising members of his family and a large workforce, often from his native region. At the beginning of the 20th century, the factory had nearly 1200 workers.
Legras' production, which regularly won awards at international exhibitions between 1880 and 1900, declined after the First World War and ceased definitively in 1960.
Perhaps less famous than Gallé, Daum or Lalique, Legras is nevertheless one of the master glassmakers who have left their mark on the history of decorative art.
In the wake of Art Nouveau, he signed a wide variety of glassworks with varied shapes and decorations: landscapes, flowers, fruits, foliage, fauna.
The commercial approach was to offer luxury objects in the style of Daum or Gallé, but at a better price.
Sold by catalogue, these timeless decorative pieces thus met with a vast, more popular clientele.

- Blown Glass Ewer - Murano - Art Nouveau - Period: Early 20th CenturyLocated in CRÉTEIL, FRBeautiful ewer in white Murano glass, blue and red watermarked, mouth-blown. Until the 17th and 18th centuries, ewers were used to serve drinks. Generally made of gold or silver precious metal, finely sculpted and chased, it takes the form of an elegantly shaped vase, generally taller than it is wide, mounted on a foot, with a spout and handle. Its name comes from the word aigue, meaning water in Old French (as does the locality of Aigues-Mortes). The ewer was widely used throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In the 18th century, it was replaced by the crystal carafe and the earthenware water jug. The water jug was originally designed to serve water on tables. It was also used for washing. Period: Early 20th century Dimensions: Height: 33cm - Width: 16cm Filigree glass is the French translation of the old Venetian term "vetro a filigrana"; this name covers a range of transparent blown glass varieties in which stretched glass threads ("canne") in white or various colors are incorporated. "Latticino" or "Latticinio" is an Italian term that has fallen into disuse and also designates "vetro a filigrana". This generic term covers three different types of decor: "vetro a fili", in which the "canes" form parallel lines; "vetro a retorti...Category
