Pair of Legras owl-shaped vases
Elegant pair of vases by Legras, in blown glass tinted a deep cobalt blue, featuring a silhouette subtly evoking the shape of an owl, characteristic of the house's Art Nouveau productions. Each vase is decorated with a delicately enameled floral motif, featuring light-blue flowers surrounded by finely chased silver foliage. The decorations, applied in slight relief, bear witness to the refined craftsmanship and plastic research typical of the Legras workshop.
The slightly choked, then flared upper part accentuates the crowning effect, reminiscent of the head feathers of nocturnal birds of prey, while the curved, compartmentalized body lends the vases a sculptural presence. The ensemble offers a striking contrast between the depth of the cobalt blue and the softness of the floral ornamentation.
An exceptional decorative piece, imbued with poetry and character, ideal for lovers of antique glassware and Art Nouveau.
