GALLE ETUDE MARQUETRY VASE.

GALLE ETUDE MARQUETRY VASE. Truly outstanding Galle marquetry vase has purple, blue and yellow flower with amber stems and pale green leaves inlaid into an amber shading to frosted shading to purple background. The single flower and purple bud are beautifully wheel carved. Vase is signed on the side with engraved “Galle Etude”. Etude pieces were fine examples of marquetry work that received some type of damage in the manufacturing process, generally caused by heating and cooling the glass at different times. If a piece was an exceptional example, Galle would sign it “Etude” noting that there was some damage from the making but he felt that it was an exceptional piece worth being put on the market and carrying his name. Vase is accompanied by its original presentation box with brown leatherette exterior and white satin interior. Interior top of the box is marked “Gay & Perrin 71. Avenue D’Antin Paris”. SIZE: 7″ t. CONDITION: Very good to excellent. There is an interior stress line that runs vertically on the side of the vase but does not appear to break the surface. Presentation box shows some wear and minor staining to satin lining and minor wear to exterior edges. 5-60312 (8,000-10,000)
