Description

Vases; France, c. 1900. Cameo glass. Signed Gallé and D'Argental. Measurements: 19 x 5.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 cm; 17 x 5.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 cm. Pair of vases made in cameo glass. In fact, the cameo glass is known since ancient times, although it was taken up again in the late nineteenth century in France and England. It was a form of decoration faster and cheaper than the cameo engraved wheel, so the result was more affordable pieces, mass-produced, but handmade, since no templates were used, but the motif was drawn by hand on each piece. The cameo glass technique consists of blowing a bubble of two or more layers of glass of different colors, which are then carved or removed by acid re-melting the bottom, thus leaving the motif in relief, in the color of the top layer of glass.
