Winter Forest Legras Vase, France, Early 20th Century

About the Item

Winter Forest Legras vase is an original decorative object realized in the first decade of the 20th century. Made in France. Original decorated work; the vase is realized in glass and polychrome enamels. Excellent conditions. Very beautiful and elaborated vase realized in glass with a colorful powder and, a white overlaid and enamel painting outside. The decoration is very elaborated and represents a forest immersed in snow with very thin and snow-covered trees. The body of the vase is paunchy and becomes thinner in the part of the neck to then widen over the mouth. This work has been realized by Legras-Saint-Denis, France. The Legras-Saint-Denis manufacture has been founded by François Théodore Legras. Legras also dedicates himself to chemical studies, so as to be able to apply notions and technical secrets that led him to raise the signature, in commercial and artistic production, among the most important in France. The heterogeneous production of Legras includes glasses for the hospital sector and chemistry laboratories, gobeleterie, tableware, trays for desserts and cheeses, up to the original and curious liquor bottles or essences with famous shapes. At the end of the century the production of Art Nouveau glasses began. Legras and his nephew Charles, who joined him in 1900, produced vases, jardinières, soliflores, glass and crystal boxes and lamps, cameo, intaglio or enamel, with floral representations, pastoral scenes, marine landscapes and delicate snowy landscapes, which constitute a sure point of recognition of the Legras style. For technique, aesthetics and beauty they come to compete with their contemporary glass masters, in certain models and processes they even manage to overcome them.
