Legras Cameo Glass & Enameled "Rubis"
Box
Here's a beautiful
Legras dresser box in their "Rubis" line. This lovely cameo glass box
has a frosted chipped ice background, with intertwining leaves and
berries going around the parameter of the box. The leaves and
berries are cameo cut and etched, and enameled in a fine ruby color.
The original ad shows the same shape on the bottom row, second from the
right, albeit a slightly larger size shown as a Jardiniere.
Examples of
this exact Legras Mont Joye cameo work are shown in the
following
reference:
'Legras' by Marie
Francoise, et all. Examples of this exact
cameo work are shown on pages 168 and 232 - 235. Page 168 shows
an original Legras Advertisement showing their "Rubis" line.
