A fine enameled cameo glass cylinder vase by Legras & Cie (aka Mont Joye). The sides are beautifully decorated with raised enameled violets worked in subtle tones of purple and white. The leaves and stems are gilt. Silver-mounted pieces of this sort are quite rare. The upper collar is worked in a pattern depicting violet buds and full blossoms alternating against a pattern of finely-veined leaves. The workmanship is superb and the unity of the silver and enameled patterns is quite nice. The bottom of the base is cut in a 16-point star pattern. The silver mounts are marked with the first standard stamp (950/1000 pure) and with an unidentified silversmith’s mark (HH separated by two axes). Origin: France, ca. 1910. Condition: ecellent, no chips or cracks, no enamel loss. Size: 7-13/1" tall. |
