François-Théodore Legras - Vase - Forme Toul - Glass - Autumn lakeside

Very elegant Art Nouveau vase attributed to François-Théodore Legras (1839-1916), made in France around 1900-1910, Toul form model titled “Autumn Lakes Landscape.” It features a very beautiful naturalistic decoration depicting a woodland undergrowth with tall, sinuous trunks, delicate branches, and small leaves in reddish-brown tones. The landscape stands out against a glass background with soft gradations of pink, ivory, and green, with a ground scenery in brown tones. The hand-painted and enamelled decoration is particularly delicate and testifies to the era’s taste for nature-inspired representations. The slightly flared cylindrical shape at the neck and the composition of the decor are characteristic of Legras glassworks’ Art Nouveau productions, one of the great French houses of that period. The piece is unsigned. No cracks or chips observed. The decoration is well preserved. Very light signs of normal use given its age. See photos which are part of the description. Careful packaging and rapid shipping."
