# Art Nouveau vases [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GALLÉ, Émile]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Triple overlay glass ## Commentary Gallé manufactured three types of products: his so-called 'industrial' production began c. 1890, and signed vases in simplified shapes and colours were produced in large quantities, and his more complex and sophisticated limited editions \(called 'semi-rich'\) and his 'pièces uniques' were executed by himself or by highly skilled craftsmen. By 1894 Gallé was managing a burgeoning business with over 300 employees. He triumphed at the Exposition Universelle of 1900 in Paris, presenting a retrospective of his career and a working furnace at which the art of glassmaking was demonstrated. Gallé's talent was now widely recognized, and he was elected to the Légion d'honneur. ## Related artworks - [Chardon vase]() - [Dawn and Dusk Bed]() - [Decorative vase with crysanthemum motif]() - ["Ombellifères" \(cow parsley\) Cabinet]() - [Orchids vase]() - ["Par une telle nuit"]() - [Soup tureen]() - [Vase]() - [Vase with lilies and daises]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
