Descrizione Dettagliata
Magnificent acid frosted globular vase, with hemmed neck, edged with gold powder.
Gold highlights of enamelled poppy flowers testify to the unique style and elegance of François Théodore Legras' creations.
Period : 1900 - Art Nouveau
Dimensions : Height : 17,5cm x Width : 19cm
Signature : Mont Joye
Founded in 1859 on Avenue du Président Wilson (formerly Avenue de Paris), the Saint-Denis glassworks are closely linked to the career of François-Théodore Legras, who was its manager from 1867.
He arrived in Saint-Denis at the age of 24, and went from being a simple worker to the director of the glassworks in just three years.
He never stopped modernising and expanding the means of production, mobilising members of his family and a large workforce, often from his native region.
The factory had nearly 1200 workers at the beginning of the 20th century.
The Legras glassworks and crystal factories offered three main types of production, utilitarian glassware for chemical, pharmaceutical or commercial use, creative coloured glassware decorated with decorations and "bottles with subjects".
Perhaps less famous than Gallé, Daum or Lalique, Legras is nevertheless one of the master glassmakers who have marked the history of decorative art.
His production was regularly rewarded at international exhibitions between 1880 and 1900.
It ceased production for good in 1960.
