Ernest-Baptiste Léveillé had a glass-making and selling business at 74 Boulevard Haussmann, and later also in rue Coquillière, Paris. He was a member of the Paris 'art-glass' fraternity and a pupil (later partner) of Eugène Rousseau, one of the movement's founders. This piece was made after 1885 when Léveillé took over Rousseau's workshop. This vase is in splashed and mottled glass in imitation of agate.
