Антикварная ваза с маками, Ф.Легра (F.Legras)

The antique glass vase of elongated form is decorated with a poppy motif. The body features a warm gradient background in shades of yellow and orange; the base bears the signature of the master François-Théodore Legras (1839–1916), a renowned French glassmaker who, inspired by the nature of his native region, created decorative glass with landscape and floral themes. Rising from a clerk to the head of the major manufactory Verrerie et Cristallerie de Saint-Denis, he made his works recognizable through rich colors, enamel decoration, and refined artistry.
