A Francois Legras'Nancy' shape, internally ribbed green glass vase enamelled with poppy and foliage decoration. The vase has a round neck and body, the body is thickly hand painted in coloured enamels in a stylised poppy and leaf design with a background pattern leaf pattern in matt ochre enamel- c1900.

Sometimes these vases are numbered but not so this one. A similar vase can be seen in the book'LEGRAS' by Michel & Vitrat on page 260 -plates 0669, 0682. Glass is excellent, no restoration, chips, cracks and no staining, enamelling is in excellent order for age, there are a few small bubbles inclusions internally all of which are left over from the manufacturing process, other signs of wear commensurate with age and use. Please look at my other British and continental antique and datelined glass currently listed from well known manufacturers including; Walsh, Webb, Whitefriars, Stuart, Charles Kempton, Baccarat, St Louis, Meyrs Neffe, Moser, Fritz Heckert, Legras and Val St Lambert, WMF etc.
