Emile Galle Glass Makers Mark

Emile Galle Makers Mark.

Émile Gallé (Nancy, 8 May 1846 – Nancy, 23 September 1904) was a French artist who worked in glass, and is considered to be one of the major forces in the French Art Nouveau movement.

Although technically a glass maker, Gallé was renown for cameo glass. A technique which involved etching and carving through fused layers of different coloured glass to produce designs, usually with white opaque glass figures and motifs on a dark-colored background.

Emile Galle Vase — This vase could be one of the last designs made during Gallé’s lifetime and under his supervision. It incorporates two of his favourite images – the sun, symbolising day, banishing the bat, which symbolises night. The bat also evoked, in Gallé’s words,’… the darkness of a night in the forest…the rustle, the whispering and mysterious activity of things which are unseen, but which watch, and go about their business in secret’ . The applied coloured glass decorations that imitate rich jewelling are called cabochons. They were not included on the simpler versions of the design that were produced in the early years after Gallé died in 1904. These versions have the Gallé mark, together with a star. This combined mark was used on pieces made after his death. Victoria and Albert Museum
