Legras Art Nouveau'Belgrade' Shape Ivy Leaf & Flowers Enamelled Glass Vase

  
A Francois Legras'Belgrade' shape, pale green satin finish glass vase enamelled with Ivy flowers and leaves (Feuilles de Lierre) decoration. The vase has a trefoil gilded rim a round neck and body, the body is thickly hand painted in enamels in a stylised ivy design. There is polished pontil mark to the base c1900. Sometimes these vases are numbered, but not so this one. Glass is excellent, no restoration, chips, cracks, a very small amount of water staining to the base internally, some rubbing to the gilding on the rim but in the main it is fine, enamelling is in excellent order for age, a few bubble inclusions in the glass and a small patch of colour missing from the back of the vase (see last picture at the left near the top), 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.
