Small cabinet or bud vase signed Galle, made by the French craftsman Emile Galle from the late 1800s to the late 1930s.
The background color graduates from blue green to clear frosted glass and the raised landscape is a light brown or amber color. The design includes snow covered mountains and trees reflected in a lake.
I've always been fascinated by the dimension and ghostly perspectives of Galle's naturalistic glass designs and is vase, even though miniature in size, has the same detail, quality and mystery. The colors of glass are actually layers atop one another, then carvings or etchings at various levels reveal the colors beneath.
No chips or cracks or scratches that I can see.

I have two others for sale as well! All three came from an older Victorian home that was filled with curio cabinets containing lots of treasures. I fell in love with these little gem like vases and have used them in many different photos - as they seem to magically glow in the sunlight.
