Gallery label
Ernest-Baptiste Léveillé had a glass-making and selling business at 74 Boulevard Haussmann, and possibly 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. The glass was made, possibly, by Appert Frères at Clichy to Léveillé's design and decorated in Paris. This vase is in splashed and mottled glass in imitation of agate.
