GALLE ETUDE MARQUETRY VASE. Rare Galle vase has heavy smoky body with beautiful lavender marquetry flowers inlaid in the body of the vase. The wonderful marquetry vase is mounted in a heavy leaf form bronze foot. The bronze foot is signed on the underside “Galle”, while the glass vase is signed with etched signature “Galle”. The vase is also signed “Etude”. When being manufactured, many marquetry vases would form cracks in one or more layers of glass, due to the constant heating and re-heating of the glass. On rare occasions Galle would determine that a piece was of high enough artistic quality to warrant putting it on the market, even though it has some of this damage to the heating and re-heating process. Vases of this type were marked “Etude”. SIZE: 7” t. CONDITION: In the making fractures, otherwise this early vase is very good to excellent. 5-71169 (5,000-10,000)
