An early Galle enamel decorated glass vase

An early Galle enamel decorated glass vase
circa 1890
Decorated with a butterfly amongst berried and flowering foliage, signed Cristallerie Emile Galle Nancy.
height 6 3/4in (17cm)
Provenance: Property from the Estate of Ruth Harvey, Bel Air, California.
Condition Report: Typical wear, rubbing and loss to gilding and enamel decoration. Scattered trapped air bubble inclusions. Areas of water staining to interior and exterior. Some whitening to the edges of the enamel decoration. A few scattered abrasions to interior. There is a small chip to lower lip and to the edge of the raised rib in the area, and there is some roughness to the edges of the lower lip but appears to be in the manufacture rather than damage as the original gilding covers the lip.
