Please note the postage calculator below

Galle was known for his beautiful floral motifs on glass and furniture. This piece offered for sale represents that clearly. Impressive in both shape and beauty, this vase is adorned with intaglio cut landscape, that reflects elegance and timelessness of this piece. Completely hand crafted with three layers of mouth-blown glass, the design comes to life with cutting and etching techniques on various layers to bring out the colours. This vase is brand new and is a high quality reproduction of the original design by Emile Galle. THIS ITEM IS A SPECIAL EDITION OF HANDMADE PIECES EXCLUSIVE TO VENDOR AND IS NOT OFFERED FOR SALE IN ANY RETAIL SHOP. CAMEO GLASS is a technique similar to the cameo cutting of stones and shells use by the ancient Egyptians and Romans, and revived in the nineteenth century. The technique involves cased glass, or the overlaying of several thin layers of different colored glass, two and three and more rarely four or five, and then to acid-etch or wheel carve the design of one colour on another in relief. The difficulty of this technique lies in the fact that various layers must have the same dilation coefficient and the same thickness in order to avoid any breaking while the piece is cooling, or when working in the glass once it is cold. The chemical composition of each colored layer of glass is therefore decisive and kept secret.
