This exquisite Établissements Gallé vase depicts crab apple branches in cameo glass, with each fruit rendered in subtle variations of hue and tonal value. The branches and buds are enlivened by finely chased linework that suggests delicate veining, while touches of brown glass at the edges of the green leaves evoke the natural browning of foliage. The background gently graduates from warm amber to white and is completed by an applied brown collar.
