Antiquary & Expert CNES

Charming small vase (10 cm high), in acid-etched multi-layer glass, with a lake landscape decoration: slender trees on the banks, mountains in the background and a twilight atmosphere rendered by shades of brown and purple on an amber background.

The signature "de Vez" appears in reserve in the decoration. This mark is associated with the glassworks of André Delatte (1887-1953) in Nancy, which produced pieces in the spirit of Gallé and Daum. These creations were intended to make multi-layered glass accessible to a wider public, while retaining the artistic quality of the Nancy School.

History
The stylized lake landscapes are typical of the "de Vez" production, characterized by sober color contrasts and harmonious forms. Today, these small vases are sought after by collectors of Nancy glassware, as they represent a rarer alternative to the productions of Gallé or Daum.
