Jardinière with Dragonfly and Water Lilies Émile Gallé. Nancy 1906-1914.

About the Item

Ground and acid-etched glass jardinière ("cameo" glass), decorated with dragonfly and flowering water lilies. Acid signature "Gallé" on one of the two short sides. Pioneer of Art Nouveau and founder of the École de Nancy, Émile Gallé (1846-1904) was a master glassmaker and brilliant designer. In the 1890s the production of "cameo" glass vases, obtained by acid etching, a category into which our specimen also falls, began. These can be traced, based on the signature, to the period between 1906 and 1914, the years immediately following the master's death. As for the decorations, depicting a dragonfly in flight above a body of water with water lilies and lake reeds, they can be identified as one of the characteristic ornamental themes of Gallé's production, part of that oriental taste so beloved by the artist.
