Most of the time the subject matter is more important than the shape of a vase. This is one of those times when the shape is as or more important. This Gallé canoe shape (in French referred to as a crescent moon) is rare and beautiful. The sailboat subject matter, the color and the workmanship are all excellent. Signed in cameo on the side. 7¼" long x 3" wide x 5¼" tall. Mint condition.
