A tranquil scene of trees and mountains unfolds across the vase’s surface, surrounding the viewer with a sense of peaceful seclusion. A small cottage is nestled within the trees, overlooking a shimmering lake. This intricate, wrap-around landscape captures the Art Nouveau movement’s appreciation for the beauty and mystery of the natural world. These nature-inspired works have come to define Gallé and become the maker's most desirable motifs.
Emile Gallé opened a small woodworker's shop in 1885, where he began experimenting with marquetry designs in furniture and naturalistic glass designs. In 1889, he displayed his new glass creations at the Paris International Exhibition, where the designs and colors not previously seen caused an immediate sensation. The new style of Art Nouveau had begun to appear, and the movement's aesthetics and devotion to nature appealed greatly to the young Gallé. In 1894 Gallé built a manufacturing plant in Nancy and began creating his own designs from inception through production. Gallé personally developed many of the designs, and he was known to actively make alterations and approve the designs of his talented team of designers and craftsmen he employed at the "Cristallerie D'Emile Gallé."
