Gallé didn't often use frosted backgrounds for floral vases. Some people don't care for them, but I love them. The flowers have truer color and the contrast with the background always make them stand out. This is a large (14¼"), beautiful vase with pastel pink flowers and soft brown leaves. If you saw these colors on clothing, you would say they match perfectly. Very fairly priced for a monumental vase. Signed in cameo on the side. Mint condition.
