Acid Frosted Globular Vase, Signed Mont-Joye, Art Nouveau, François T. Iegras

About the Item

Magnificent acid-frosted globular vase, with hemmed neck, bordered with gold powder. Gold highlights and enamelled poppy flowers testify to the unique style and elegance of the creations proposed by François Théodore Legras. Period: 1900 – Art Nouveau Dimensions: Height: 17.5cm x Width: 19cm Signature: Mont Joye Created in 1859, avenue du Président Wilson (formerly avenue de Paris), the glassworks of Saint-Denis are intimately linked to the career of François- Théodore Legras, who was the manager from 1867. Arrived in Saint-Denis at the age of 24, this master glassmaker from the Vosges of modest origins went from simple worker to director of the glassworks in just three years. He constantly modernizes and expands the means of production, mobilizing members of his family and a large workforce, often from his native region. The factory had nearly 1,200 workers at the start of the 20th century. The Legras glassworks and crystalworks offered three main types of production, utilitarian glassware for chemical, pharmaceutical or commercial purposes, creative colored glassware adorned with decorations and “subject bottles”. Perhaps less famous than Gallé, Daum or Lalique, Legras is nevertheless one of the master glassmakers who have marked the history of decorative art. Its production was regularly rewarded at international exhibitions between 1880 and 1900. It will definitively cease all production in 1960.
