This intricate process involves repurposing colorful glass fragments left over from the day's production, which are carefully fused onto molten, hand-blown glass. The result is a marbled effect, where vibrant hues blend seamlessly, giving each piece a unique and dynamic character.

The greenish vase stands 9 inches tall, showcasing an elegantly ruffled rim and a beautifully textured, swirled body. A decorative molded band encircles its slender neck, adding a touch of refinement. Its cased white interior provides a striking contrast to the richly marbled exterior, where an enchanting array of brownish-purple, green, and yellow ovals in varying sizes blend seamlessly, creating a dynamic, swirling flurry of color.

The pinkish vase, slightly taller at 9 ¾ inches, boasts a distinctive crimped, turned-in lip. Its marbled exterior presents a striking interplay of pink and yellow in a color blocked pattern.

Together, these vases exemplify the artistry and craftsmanship of Legras glassware, each a unique testament to the beauty of early 20th-century decorative glass. See less
