A Galle Cameo Glass Slender Lamp Base c1925
A Galle Cameo Glass Slender Lamp Base Date : 1918 to 1935 Origin. Internally banded in green, pink and white and overlaid in dark ochre and acid cut with with berries upon slender stems and leaves Marks : Galle in cameo exaggerated signature Type : Lead Glass Size : Height 29cm Condition :Good Restoration : None Weight : 1250 grams. The base retains part of the original Galle paper label, Nancy and Paris and another but complete label for Forterre the Strasbourg Porcelain and Glass retailer.

These are often presented as vases, but it is a lamp base, the vertical above the signature is sparsely decorated and the cable would be trailed in this alignment. Although electricity was available to the Parisian elite in the 1890s it was not until after the first world war that it became commercially viable to produce glassware for lamps. The great French glass makers were masters of their art, but they were also good business people. Any date attributed before 1918-19 fails the'common sense test.
