Galle Glass

This detailed portrayal and analysis of the designs and techniques used by Emile Galle, to produce his glass, is accompanied by a discussion of his contemporaries in glass making in the Art Nouveau period and the political context that produced the conditions in which Nancy flourished as a 'Ville d'art' in the years around 1900. Numerous examples of his work illustrate his genius in art and design. His appearances at international exhibitions and the prizes he was awarded are also discussed.
