Lot #1841 Ã‰mile Gallé Art Nouveau Cased Glass Perfume Atomizer ca. 1900

Description:

Émile Gallé Art Nouveau Cased Glass Perfume Atomizer ca. 1900. Émile Gallé (1846-1904) the brilliant French art glass maker and designer also proved one of the foundational geniuses of the Art Nouveau movement. Cased glass was the process of two or more colors, carved with a diamond saw or etched with acid, so that the colors of the layer underneath were visible and created a design. This atomizer showcases the artistry of Gallé glass with the maroon foliate designs in stunning contrast to the almost foggy sunrise color of the base glass. Near to mint condition given the bulb atomizer not present. Otherwise a superb piece for any collector. 10" tall including the curved neck. Estimated Value $800 - 1,000
