Featured Art nouveau vases with gilding and enamel - no signature

Hello everyone!

This is my second thread on this Forum and I am hoping that you will be able help me once again.

I recently bought a lovely pair of cylinder-shaped green glass vases with gilding and enamelled lily of the valley at a small generalist auction for 34 euros. The auctioneer made no claims about the maker of the vases and just dated them to "early XXth century". After some research, I found that they are an exact match for vases made by Legras; however, they are not signed.

In the absence of any signature/mark, I was wondering if any of you knew how to tell if the vases were originals or reproductions? Either way, I find them very pretty and will enjoy them tremendously!

Here are some photos, including of the imperfections in the gilding, which isn't aligned:

 

Welcome Melian44, glassies will want to see the bottom and will need measurements to help

 

Excellent point! They are 21 x 9 cm and photos of the bottom are below:

 

Did you see this unsigned one?

I have indeed, thanks! Many (if not most) of the ones I've seen online are not signed. The size/overall decoration does seem "right", but I'm really not an expert, which is why I'm seeking your and other people's much better informed opinions!

 

I wasn’t able to find a Legras one online?

Perhaps this one on Catawiki doesn’t have a signature either, I can’t see one in the obscured pics and it’s not mentioned in the description just said it’s in the catalogue, maybe none of them were signed.

 

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the catalogue -- I could only find this blurry photo of the page with the vase!

 

I like it. Nice vases.
I noticed this. What does this dash mean ?

 

Had you seen this article?

This auction for a blue one includes this which mentions it's not signed.

I'd say it's official; the OP scored.

 

Someone didn't apply the transfer properly.

 

That is where the applied pattern paper was overlain and met.

 

Thanks. learned something new again!

 

Many thanks for the article! It's very nice to learn more about them and their maker. They are truly very pretty, even if they are not in top condition.

 

I agree, they are lovely.
