Descriptions

Emile Gallé (1846-1904) was a leading glassmaker and designer working in the fluid Art Nouveau style. This was inspired by plants, insects, marine life and landscapes. At his factory Gallé mastered a range of decorative techniques, but cameo carving remained the most popular.

This object is on display at RAMM in the Courtyard.
