Made in France c 1900s

Approx. 23" High x 7 1/2" Diameter at Widest x 7 1/2" Diameter.


Exceptionally rare and impressive monumental exhibition-sized cameo art glass "banjo" or stick vase by the legendary French master Émile Gallé (1846–1904). 

The vase features a slender, elongated neck that gently swells into a compressed, bulbous cushion base. 

The multi-layered cameo glass body transitions beautifully from a soft, frosted pastel pink and opal background at the neck into a rich, saturated amber-orange base.

The exterior is masterfully acid-etched in deep relief, detailing a winding motif of wild Nasturtium (Capucines) blossoms, cascading tendrils, and delicate teardrop buds.

Features a beautifully executed, authentic raised cameo signature "Gallé" integrated along the lower section of the body with no star symbol, firmly attributing this piece to the coveted lifetime production period of the Nancy workshops.

Excellent antique condition. No chips, cracks, structural fractures, or visible restorations. Soft, rounded fire-polished rim and factory-finished base. (Note: Please review all high-resolution macro imagery for exact surface details). See less
