LE GRAS - ART NOUVEAU Blown glass ball vase

About the Item

LE GRAS - ART NOUVEAU Blown glass ball vase with fluted edge decorated with art nouveau scrolls and organic floral design. Gilt decoration to the rim and on the design. In lovely condition with some signs of age. Signed. Legras is a renowned French glassmaker with a significant historical presence in the world of glassmaking. The Legras glassworks originated in Saint-Denis, France, founded by Auguste Legras in the mid-19th century. Initially, the company focused on the production of tableware, decorative items, and lighting fixtures. Under the direction of Auguste's son, Ernest Legras, the company expanded its production and gained recognition for its artistic glassware. Ernest Legras was particularly influential in the development of decorative glass techniques, including enameling and cameo glass. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Legras became known for its vibrant and intricate designs, often featuring floral motifs, landscapes, and intricate patterns. The company's glass pieces were highly sought after and exhibited in international expositions, earning numerous awards and accolades. One of Legras's notable contributions to the world of glassmaking was its experimentation with acid-etching and overlay techniques, which resulted in pieces with rich colours and elaborate designs. Today, antique Legras glass pieces are highly collectible and prized by enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. The company's legacy lives on through its exquisite glass creations, which continue to be celebrated for their beauty, craftsmanship, and historical significance in the realm of decorative arts.
