Legras vase from the "Vert Impérial" series, also known as Vert Nil, ovoid shape with dark green frosted base, acid-etched decoration of oak leaves and acorns enhanced with gold and silver. Like most of these pieces, it is unsigned.
Listed in the book by Francois-Théodore Legras. The book reproduces Mr. Houtart's report on this creation at the Exposition Universelle of 1900: "These are then decorations touching on modern art that we find first of all on multiple forms in a tint of old glass called "Nile green" whose mattness obtained by acid makes each piece more discreet in its decorative motif, so to speak".
