Galle Style Cameo Glass Trumpet Vase with Grapevine Motif

This is a tall, elegant trumpet-shaped cameo glass vase, designed in the Art Nouveau style famously pioneered by Émile Gallé. The vessel features a multi-layered glass construction with an acid-etched design. The background is a vibrant, translucent frosted amber or honey-yellow glass, while the decorative relief depicts a dense grapevine pattern complete with large leaves, winding tendrils, and clusters of fruit. The overlay colors consist of deep burgundy-brown for the leaves and base, and a contrasting milky-white for the grapes. The vase stands on a dark, rounded pedestal base and flares out at the rim. On the lower body, a stylized 'Galle' signature is visible in raised relief, characteristic of either original late-19th to early-20th-century Nancy School production or a high-quality mid-to-late 20th-century reproduction ('Tip' Gallé). The craftsmanship displays sophisticated acid-etching techniques to create varying depths and textures, particularly in the veining of the leaves. Condition-wise, the glass appears structurally sound with no visible cracks or large chips in the body, though minor surface scratches and a light patina typical of age are present. The saturation of the amber glass provides a warm internal glow when backlit, highlighting the detail of the cameo-cut layers.
