Uranium Art Nouveau Glass Vase Dahlia Mums Optic Enameled French Galle Legras

FRENCH GLASS MUMS URANIUM VASELINE ART NOUVEAU OPTIC VASE ENAMELED LEGRAS GALLE. THIS RARE FRENCH ART GLASS OVOID VASE IS FROM THE ART NOUVEAU PERIOD. 7.25" HIGH BY 4" ACROSS THE BASE, AND 5 ACROSS THE MIDDLE. ON THE BASE IS A HAND PAINTED, FAINT LETTER'G' THAT LOOKS LIKE THE STYLIZED'G' USED ON GALLÉ ARTWORK. THERE IS ANOTHER PARTIAL LETTER NEXT TO IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

SEE THE 5TH PHOTO, (TAKEN IN DAYLIGHT), AND THE 12TH PHOTO, (TAKEN WITH BLACK LIGHT). THIS IS A VERY UNUSUAL OVOID VASE WITH RAISED'THUMBPRINT' OPTIC PATTERN ON THE INTERIOR, AND SMOOTH GLASS ON THE EXTERIOR. DAHLIAS / SPIDER MUMS ARE HEAVILY ENAMELED ON THE EXTERIOR WITH VERY FINELY ACID ETCHED LEAVES AND STEMS. THE CONDITION IS QUITE GOOD.

THE MUMS REMAIN FULLY INTACT DUE TO THE THICK APPLICATION OF ENAMEL. ONLY SOME AREAS OF THE DELICATE STEMS AND LACY LEAVES ARE DIMINISHED.

NO CRACKS, AND ONLY A FEW VERY SMALL FLEA BITES ON THE RIM. AIR BUBBLES ARE VISIBLE AT THE BASE, AND A FEW SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE SIDES. THERE IS A SMALL GLASS'GLOBULE' ON THE INSIDE OF THE NECK, MADE AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE. CIRCA 1880-90, ART NOUVEAU, FRANCE. 3 DESCRIPTIONS ARE BASED ON MY EXAMINATION OF EVERY PIECE I SELL AND ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS AN ART GLASS AND ANTIQUE COLLECTOR FOR OVER 35 YEARS.
