Antique LeGras attributed Art Nouveau French Enameled Glass Vase with Gold

A graceful expression of Art Nouveau elegance, this antique LeGras trumpet-style vase, circa 1900s, brings together textured glass and a sumptuous applied-gold leaves and berries motif. The botanical enamel decoration celebrates the natural forms so beloved during this period, lending the piece a richly ornamental yet refined presence.

Additional applied-gold decoration adorns the stepped base, completing the composition with a harmonious touch of brilliance. Handmade craftsmanship and the interplay of glass, enamel, and gold make this vase a distinguished addition to a thoughtfully curated collection of antique decorative glass.

About the Maker

François-Théodore LeGras was a French glassmaker associated with the glassworks at Saint-Denis, near Paris. His name is closely associated with decorative glass of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly enameled pieces inspired by foliage, flowers, and the natural world. Legras glass is admired for its expressive surface decoration and its place within the French Art Nouveau tradition.
