Additional Information : With no remaining evidence of any marks or paper labels you would imagine that this had been difficult to attribute. however. there are clues. Firstly the use of violets as a decorative device was a common these for  Mont Joye / Legras.

Secondly the brass rim with opposing shields is seen on other vases marked Mont Joye.  The firm that specialised in metalwork for Mont Joye Legras was Baudet of Paris

Thirdly Francois-Theodore Legras is known to have been a great admirer of Emile Galle from which this piece takes it’s inspiration.

The mark would have been gilded and on the base. There are also the remnants of a retailers paper label on the base.
