Legras Art Nouveau Vase in Hand-Painted Glass – 31 cm
A poetic and rare Legras vase in clear glass with hand-painted flowers in blue, purple, and soft pink hues — an elegant example of French Art Nouveau from the first half of the 20th century.
The transparent glass gives the delicate enamel-painted flowers an almost floating appearance, where light moves through the vase and highlights the handcrafted details. The combination of the simple cylindrical form and the organic floral decoration creates a special balance between elegance and lightness.
The vase works beautifully both alone as a decorative objet d’art or with a few flower branches, allowing its transparent character to shine through. A piece of French glass art with quiet luxury and clear craftsmanship finesse.
Selected with a focus on poetic vintage, French ambiance, and timeless craftsmanship.
History & context — read more ▾
The Art Nouveau period was characterized by organic forms, nature motifs, and artisanal details, and floral decorations like these became iconic for French glass production around the turn of the century and into the early 1900s.
The Legras workshops in France became particularly known for their enamel-painted glass, where hand-decorated motifs and refined color transitions gave each vase its unique expression. This vase clearly bears the mark of the romantic and nature-inspired aesthetic that characterized the period.

Legras refers to the French glassworks associated with François-Théodore Legras, who in the late 1800s and early 1900s became among the most recognized producers of decorative art glass in France.
Production ranges from enamel-painted glass to acid-etched and frosted surfaces, often inspired by natural forms and the soft lines of the Art Nouveau movement. Legras is today sought after by collectors for its characteristic combination of artistic decoration and artisanal quality.
