Gallery label
Ernest-Baptiste Leveillé had a glass-making and selling business at 74 Boulevard Haussmann, and later 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 Leveillé took over Rousseau's workshop. The glass was made, possibly, by either Appert Frères or at Clichy and decorated in Paris. This vase is in mottled and splashed glass imitating agates.
