About the Item
Pair of French Art Deco Glass Vases by François-Théodore Legras, France, Circa 1920 — Enamelled Swan Motif. A stunning pair of French Art Deco glass vases crafted by renowned artist François-Théodore Legras, dating to circa 1920. Each vase features delicate enamelled decoration of two swans facing each other, symbolizing elegance and harmony—classic themes in Art Deco design.
These beautifully preserved vases measure 10.6" (27 cm) in height, 4.9" (12.5 cm) in width, and 3.55" (9 cm) in depth. Both are signed “Leg” within the enamelled decor, authenticating their origin and craftsmanship.
Condition is very good. Notably, the apparent “scratches” visible under the base of one vase are actually light reflections and do not affect the glass or enamel surface.
Dimensions (each vase):
Height: 10.6" (27 cm)
Width: 4.9" (12.5 cm)
Depth: 3.55" (9 cm)
Perfect for collectors of French Art Deco glassware, Legras vases, or 1920s decorative glass, this pair exemplifies the refined artistry and timeless beauty of early 20th-century French enamelled glass.

François-Théodore Legras
François-Théodore Legras is a master French glassmaker. His childhood spent in a tiny hamlet, surrounded by nature, in the heart of the Darney Forest, one of the most beautiful forests in France, has probably marked and will become a source of inspiration for his creations focused on fauna, flora and especially on the landscapes of forests and lakes that punctuate the Ourche Valley. At the age of 20, he entered as a clerk in glassworks near his native hamlet. At the age of 24, he left his native Vosges to work at the Plaine Saint-Denis glassworks in Saint-Denis near Paris where he was hired as a night clerk. Six months later, Legras became a manufacturing manager and in 1866, at the age of 27, he became director of glassware. He then builds a new modern factory and a workers' city that over the years becomes an Industrial complex of nearly 20,000 square meters. Legras became chief executive officer of Legras et Cie, then of the Verrerie et Cristallerie de Saint-Denis. He participates in many national and international exhibitions where he is very often rewarded. Legras was also responsible for the glassware and crystalware part of the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris.

Pair of 19th Century French Painted Enameled Vases Signed Delphin Massier
By Delphin Massier
Located in Dallas, TX
Decorate a mantel or a console with this elegant pair of antique enamel vases. Created in southern France, the colorful vessel have a long neck on a circular base; each vase features a typical coastal scene on the French Riviera with sailboats at large and rocky cliffs in the foreground. Each vase is signed by the artist Narbon d'Honore. The vases are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorn soft colors in the beige palette. The vessels are further signed underfoot "Delphin Massier, Vallauris" for additional authentication.
The Massier family of Vallauris is recognized for three members producing Majolica in the second half of the 19th century. In 1860, brothers Delphin (1836-1907) and Clement (1844-1917) Massier were joined by cousin Jerome Massier (1850-1916) and began producing a style of ceramic bridging between traditional Victorian Majolica and Art Nouveau pottery. The Massier’s mastered the copper oxide flambé technique for glazing, thereby introducing an intensely vibrant color palette including red, green and blue hues not previously seen with English Majolica.
Important in the Massier production were a series of large naturalistic modeled figural roosters, hens and other birds. Vases and wall pockets styled as orchids, intensely colored irises and sunflowers are among the most common Massier styles. A variety of humorous pieces bearing frogs and songbirds are popular among collectors. Most Massier Majolica bears...
