Vase
c. 1920
Emile Gall�
�Blow out� Cameo glass
h. 36.8 cm
UEA 21017Emile Gall� gained international acclaim for his work in Art Nouveau glass and furniture and was awarded a gold medal for a display at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. He founded the association of makers known as the Ecole de Nancy, of which he was president until his death in 1904.
Gall� developed a form of cameo glass deriving from oriental prototypes, of which this vase is a fine example. Cameo glass is made when layers of glass are carved and then etched to leave a relief pattern in which the coloured layers appear through the variable thickness of the design.
