EMILE GALLE – AIGUIERE AUX IRIS, 1893
AIGUIERE AUX IRIS, 1893
Multilayered glass, partly hammered with small irregular facets and wheel-carved decor of iris flowers
Height: 22 cm.
Most likely blown and engraved in Meisenthal then wheel-carved in Nancy
Designed to be mounted in silver, an example was acquired directly from Emile Gallé in 1893 by the Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs, the current Musée des Arts décoratifs, inventory number 7775. The mount is by Joseph Joindy, chased by Francis Peureux who was the main silver chaser at the Maison Boucheron. Our example is the unmounted one that remained in Emile Gallé’s family and no other example known to exist.
In his book L’Oeuvre de verre d’Emile Gallé, copyright 1998 Editions Messene, Paris,
François Le Tacon illustrates a ewer in red and black multilayred glass, that he dates 1893 and which is located in the castle museum of Boulogne-sur-Mer, inventory n. 750, height: 25 cm.; We read: “A l’opposé, une cruche de 1893 (fig.62), sans caractère symbolique, est un objet intrinsèquement décoratif. Soufflée et gravée à Meisenthal à l’acide, puis reprise à la roue à Nancy, elle était destinée à être montée à Paris sur argent doré, comme l’exemplaire du musée des Arts décoratifs. Elle est en cristal triple couche : une interne translucide, une intermédiaire noire foncée et une externe rouge. L’opposition violente entre le noir et le rouge donne à cette pièce un aspect particulier, encore souligné par l’agressivité de la gravure qui s’apparente beaucoup à une taille. La monture en argent ciselé et doré, de style rocaille, avec deux serpents s’enroulant autour de l’anse, plutôt de style Art nouveau, accentue encore les oppositions. La pièce parisienne, à décor d’iris, a été achetée directement à Gallé par le musée; celle de Boulogne, à décor de lys, appartenait à Charles Lebeau”.

GEORG HARALD SLOTT-MOLLER – ANTON MICHELSEN – BEAKER, 1898
BEAKER, 1898

Height: 16 cm.
Anton Michelsen (1809-77) opened his first shop in Denmark in 1841. For several generations, he was the leading firm of gold and silversmiths, with significant influence on Danish jewelry design during the 19th and early 20th century. A Michelsen was among the first and the last to work in the Old Nordic style.
More widely known as a painter, Harald Sløtt-Moller worked for the Anton Michelsen Silversmithy during the Skønvirke period of design, circa 1880-1920. Skønvirke was the Danish equivalent of the English Arts and Crafts, German Jugendstil and French Art Nouveau movements. Sløtt-Mollers pieces, as evident in the offered lot, were influenced by the Japonisme style which grew in popularity following Japan’s exhibition at the Paris World’s Fair in 1867.
A relatable example of this model is in the permanent collection of the Musée d’Orsay, accession no. OAO 1297, and a teapot by the designer, also in the Japonisme style, is in the collection of the Design Museum, Denmark, accession no. 11a-b/1991.
