Rare ornamental vase with colchicum decoration, “Les colchiques,” by Emile Gallé Slender club shape with a constricted, stepped rim. Overlay glass, colorless, light and dark violet. Etched decoration of blooming colchicum stems; the background largely reworked with a martelé finish. Japanese-style signature “Gallé.” H. 27.5 cm. A comparable piece is held at the Museum of Applied Arts in Frankfurt am Main, Inv. No. 12251. Because it blooms late, toward the end of the typical gardening season, the autumn crocus depicted here is considered a symbol of transience; this motif was taken up not only by Gallé but also by Heinrich Vogeler. A French Art Nouveau cameo glass vase with acid-etched and fire-polished Colchicum autumnale (autumn crocus) decoration on a cut martelé ground. Signed. France. Nancy. Émile Gallé. Circa 1900.
