Gallé (Galle), Abutilon vase
ITEM # 2511038
Abutilon flowers don't grow in the east because they can't take the cold, so the first time I saw the flower on a vase, I couldn't identify it. Then I got help from a gentleman in California who was growing the flower. It's a pretty flower that's depicted beautifully on this vase, utilizing the windowpane technique, so the pink-red of the flowers doesn't mix with the yellow of the background. Great footed shape, 6½" tall x 6½" diameter. Signed in cameo on the side of the vase. Mint condition.
Gallé (Galle), Black Eyed Susan vase
ITEM # 2808002
I'm very fond of Gallé (Galle) vases with frosted backgrounds. They allow the colors of the flowers to show well and contrast beautifully with the background. I especially like this vase because the flowers are a rare shade of green that I haven't often seen on other Gallé (Galle) vases. I think it's stunning. The flowers appear to be Black Eyed Susan or Painted Daisy or something else in the Echinacea family. The size is perfect for a cabinet at 9" tall. Signed Gallé (Galle) in cameo on the side of the vase. Mint condition.
Gallé (Galle), Blownout clematis vase
ITEM # 2501011
Gallé (Galle) blownout vases with an extra layer of color are rarer and more attractive than vases without one. In this case the white layer creates better contrast and opacity, making the flowers pop. This is a special example. 6½" tall. Signed. Mint condition.
Gallé (Galle), Blownout hyacinth vase
ITEM # 2608009
Gallé (Galle) blownout vases were produced in molds. Subject matter varies from flowers to fruit to animals. They are all rarer and more desirable than similar vases that are not blownout. This fantastic example is a blownout Hyacinth vase. It's quite special because the color is vibrant and the technique is windowpane. This technique framed the flowers with no color behind them, so the yellow color of the background doesn't mix with the red of the flowers (creating orange flowers). Impressive cabinet size at 12" tall. Acid-etched cameo signature on the side of the vase Gallé (Galle). Mint condition.
Gallé (Galle), Blownout rowan berry vase
ITEM # 2910004
Gallé (Galle) blownout vases were produced in molds. Subject matter varies from flowers to fruit to animals. They are all rarer and more desirable than most vases that are not blownout. Standard acid-etching techniques were used after the molten glass was formed in a mold with compressed air. Each model comes in different color variations. This example has very pretty yellow-orange rowan berries. The rowans, also known as mountain-ashes, are shrubs or trees in the genus Sorbus of the rose family, Rosaceae. Gallé (Galle) mostly used local flora for their subject matter, so that means they grew in France. 11¼" tall. Cameo signature on the side of the vase Gallé (Galle). Mint condition.
Gallé (Galle), Cyclamen vase
ITEM # 2406036
Cyclamen is such a pretty flower. We grow it often in pots on the window sill. This example has beautiful strong red flowers on a yellow background. The detail and workmanship is excellent and representative of the better, earlier work by Gallé (Galle). The love the bulbous, squat shape. 4½" tall x 6½" diam. Signed. Mint condition.
Gallé (Galle), Magnolia vase
ITEM # 3001100
Magnolia is a very showy flower. It's colorful and beautiful, with superior workmanship. The shape is also lovely, because it's slightly flattened, with an oval mouth. The 9¾" size is substantial and perfect for a cabinet. Very fancy Gallé (Galle) cameo signature on the side of the vase. Mint condition.
Gallé (Galle), Oak leaves & beetle vase
ITEM # 2806003
Gallé (Galle) didn't put many insects on vases. They're quintessentially Art Nouveau, so they add interest, rarity and value when they're present. This beautiful example has a big beetle among colorful oak leaves. The shading in the leaves goes from dark charcoal to stunning cerulean blue, all against a shaded salmon-colored background. The workmanship is outstanding, including wheel-polishing after the acid-etching, which results in a shine to the raised areas only. Fancy oriental Gallé (Galle) signature in the background. 5½" tall x 5¼" diameter. Mint condition.
