This beautiful cameo bud vase by Emile Galle is the height of Art Nouveau sophistication. The cameo effect has been achieved by layering a rich purple glass over a mottled blue base and acid etching the design into the surface. The glass to the background has been frosted adding a wonderful velvety texture to the piece. The blue tint to the glass creates a lovely dusky glow which enhances the details of the flowers to the foreground.

The vase is in a Solifleur shape with a narrow opening and teardrop body. 

The name "Galle" is etched to the side of the piece.
