Vase by Gallé, signed

Vase by Gallé

Emile Gallé (1846-1904) was a French artist, designer, and entrepreneur known for his unique glassworks and furniture in the Art Nouveau style.

Gallé was born in Nancy, France, and grew up in a family of glassblowers. He studied at the École de Nancy, an art school focused on promoting applied arts and crafts. There, he also met other artists and designers with whom he would later collaborate.

Gallé became a master of glassblowing and the art of engraving and etching glass. He developed a technique called “Kamelefloge,” in which he layered different colors of glass to create an image or pattern. His works were often inspired by nature, particularly flowers and plants, and often displayed subtle shades of color.

In the 1890s, Gallé founded his own company, the “Atelier Gallé,” which specialized in producing glassworks and furniture in the Art Nouveau style. He worked closely with other artists, including the ceramicist Ernest Bussière and the metal sculptor Louis Majorelle, to create unique and exquisite pieces.
