Émile Gallé Cameo Glass Solifleur Vase

This is an elongated 'solifleur' or stick-neck vase crafted in the signature Art Nouveau style of Émile Gallé. The vessel features a bulbous, low-slung base that tapers sharply into a tall, slender cylindrical neck. It is constructed from multi-layered cased glass, utilizing the acid-etching technique to create a cameo effect. The ground consists of a translucent frosted white/grey glass, providing a high-contrast backdrop for the dark mahogany or deep Burgundy-toned glass overlay. The decorative motif consists of acid-etched botanical elements, likely leaves and berries, that climb the length of the neck with varying depth. The craftsmanship suggests a production date circa 1900-1920. While the lighting in the image is dim, the vase appears to be in good structural condition with no major chips or cracks visible on the rim or base. The surface shows a matte finish characteristic of frosted cameo glass from this period. Authenticity would be further confirmed by a relief-etched 'Gallé' signature, typically found integrated into the foliage or near the base. The piece exhibits the organic, nature-inspired fluid lines quintessential to the Nancy School of French glassmaking.
