Anne-Laure Hyam [aka: Themagicfrog1001], via Ebay.co.uk, sold August 30, 2018.
_
Tripod pear-shaped vase in translucent smoked glass, adorned with hot-applied elements. The base consists of three feet, each extending into a thin undulating "rib" running over the body to the neck. Two vertically elongated handles are joined at their top by a knob. On either side of the body, "tears" seem to flow down the body. These different elements give the vase a profoundly organic and modern character.
The piece is distinguished by the absence of superimposed colored glass and the complete absence of painted enamel decoration, which Auguste Jean frequently used in his glass production. The ornamental richness here relies exclusively on the free working of the material itself, which gives it a sculptural character.
Several vases of comparable shape are known, but they combine hot work with painted enamel decoration, sometimes enhanced with gilding.
Condition: Good condition
Signature: No signature, mark, label, or monogram.
