DescriptionThis vase is a tall and lean cylinder, with the top tapered in slightly. It is a pale orange-crème colored background with red etched flowers, probably a type of wild rose rising from the base, which is a deep red color. The flowers and leaves rise from the base and appear as if they have organically grown around the vase. The plant designs are etched with life-like details such as the veins on the leaves, buds and flower petals. There is a visible signature which reads “galle” on the vase.Provenance
