Legras Mont Joye
French Cameo Glass and Enameled Violets Vase |



Legras Mont Joye Cameo Glass and Enameled
Vase
Lovely Legras Mont
Joye cameo glass vase depicting sprays of Violets all around the
vase. The background is cameo cut and frosted chipped ice decor,
with cameo cut Violets and leaves. The Violets are enameled in
lavenders, with yellow and magenta centers just like real
Violets. The cameo cut stems and leaves are finely detailed in
gold. The vase is further enhanced with a nice sponge applied
gold decor around the ruffled rim. The body of the vase has
twelve optic molded ribs to further enhance the beauty of this
vase. Wonderful work to collect, these Violets pieces came
in an array of shapes and sizes such as rose bowls, vases, bowls, and
even baskets.
