Emile Galle-The Bretton Fishing Fleet-Exceptionally Rare Cameo glass signed vase

About the Item

One of the rarest Galle images the Bretton Fishing Fleet cameo vase -depicting a flotilla of manned fishing boats of many sizes and designs and incredible detail many with sails up and many with just rigging. Signed, intaglio cut, Provost MkVI c1925-36 -see 4th image and chart at end for dating. This an absolute tour-de-force of the cameo technique -partly done by acid cut back, but most of the fine outline work (rigging etc) is done by fine wheel cutting. Very few other examples of this vase are known and they mostly reside in museums. Galle vases featuring sailing ship vases are very rare as Madame Galle (Emile's widow) disapproved of such images and they only came into production after her death. Emile Galle was probably the greatest glass maker of all time and one of the founding father's of the Art Nouveau movement.
