- Vase Parlant
- signed in cameo Gallé and with cameo and incised inscription Béni/soit/le coin/sombre/où s'isolent/nos coeurs/Marceline Valmore

Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the vase displays a vivid apple green and tangerine orange with internal decoration. The glass with minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually distractive. The glass surfaces with minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. A nice example of the model, displaying a line inspired from a poem by Marceline Valmore.
