Tall Legras'Sofia' Art Nouveau Amethyst Gilded & Enamelled Poppy Glass Vase. 1

  

A Francoise Legras'Sofia' shape, tall amethyst glass cylinder vase enamelled with poppies and gilded foliage decoration. The vase has a hexagonal gilded rim and round neck and body, the body is thickly hand painted in enamels in a stylised poppy design, There is polished pontil mark to the base c1900. Sometimes these vases are numbered but not so this one. Glass is excellent, no restoration, chips, cracks and no staining, some rubbing to the gilding on the rim, but in the main it is fine. The enamelling is in excellent order for age, there is a short scratch to the back about 12mm long but this is really part of wear commensurate with age and use.

This is the first one of a pair of these vases that I have listed, this one is the slightly shorter of the pair. Please look at my other British and continental antique glass currently listed from well known manufacturers including; Walsh, Webb, Whitefriars, Stuart, Baccarat, St Louis, Meyrs Neffe, Moser, Fritz Heckert, Legras and Val St Lambert etc.
