Antique French Art Nouveau Satin Glass Vase Raised Enamel Lily of Valley Gold Rim

Up for your consideration is a truly exceptional example of French Art Nouveau art glass. This antique satin glass vase features an exquisitely hand-painted, multi-fire raised enamel decoration depicting Lily of the Valley (Muguet) stalks, complete with a delicate pink floral blossom nestled at the base of the foliage.

Attributed to the historic François-Théodore Legras glassworks (Legras & Cie / Mont Joye) of St. Denis, France, this piece dates precisely to the late 19th or early 20th century (circa 1890–1910). The vase showcases a mesmerizing frosted gradient that seamlessly transitions from an ethereal sky blue at the top to a warm peach-cream toward the weighted base.

Museum Quality / Mint Gilding: 100% complete and fully intact. Unlike the vast majority of surviving 120+ year-old satin glass, the heavy gold gilt rim on this piece shows virtually zero handling wear, thinning, or rubbing.

There are absolutely no chips, cracks, hairline fractures, fleabites, or bruising anywhere along the rim, body, or base.

The thick, raised enamel "beaded" flowers and green foliage remain vibrant, highly detailed, and entirely intact with no missing paint or scuffing.

Clean and clear with no water scaling, clouding, or mineral residue.
