Muller Freres Cameo Glass Ewer Vase. While the majority of Muller Freres production was intended for a more wider mass market, they most certainly produced some very dynamic objects such as this one. Imagine what it must have been like for Henri & Derire Muller, having worked for Emile Galle, to start their own company at the fin de siecle with so much competition from the surrounding companies in Nancy, Luneville, and elsewhere. The market realities dictated that they must compete; hence, they produced products that would successfully fulfill orders / sales. Meanwhile, they undoubtedly felt compelled to make the occasional gem for both self-satisfaction and to make it clear that they had great skill with an understanding of the taste of pure Art Nouveau.

This vase stands 9 1/2” tall. The condition is crisp and clean having no chips, no cracks, and no repairs. Signed in cameo: Muller Freres Luneville.
