Description
Hello Rendosians !
Two weeks ago, I visited the beautiful village of Meisenthal (Moselle, France). This village is famous for the production of cristal glasses and objects until 1950.
They collaborated with the designer Emile Gallé between 1867 and 1894 and this vase is a perfect example of Art Nouveau.
In those times, Europe was fascinated with the japanese culture and asian patterns, such as this marvellous carp, decorated vases or another beautiful artworks.
Only six " Vases à la carpe" exist in the world and one is hosted in the Museum of Meisenthal (Centre International des Arts Verriers). Each one is slightly different but all are very beautiful. This one was displayed for an exhibition, two weeks ago.
Nowadays, the site of Meisenthal still perpetuates the tradition of Cristal fabrication with his museum but also with the production of delicate Christmas balls.
Every year they have great success in Christmas Markets and my favorite one is named Piaf (a french nickname for birdies)
Thank you for your kind comments and your support !
Have a great day / evening / night !

Moi, si j'étais eux, je t'embaucherais pour faire la publicité...peut-on imaginer une photo plus belle que celle-ci ? Je me demande d'ailleurs comment tu as faiy L'éclairage était-il suffisant car si tu as utilisé le flash, ça ne se voit pas. Du grand art doublement : ce superbe vase et ta superbe photo.
Merci énormément cher ami !

Merci beaucoup !

Ce vase est une pure merveille et la photo est sublime !!
Thank you for the history of these beautiful vases! A great capture of light, colour, and reflection.
Amazing capture !!
Très belle photo...et très beau vase! J'ai vu un reportage ( sur Arte? ) sur cette verrerie l'an dernier.
Non seulement ce vase magnifique et contemporain rend honneur au talent et au savoir-faire des artisans verriers français, mais sa qualité esthétique est encore renforcée par la manière avec laquelle tu l'as photographié dans cette capture de toute beauté, cadrée et exposée à merveille. Chapeau bas à tes talents de photographe, et merci pour les liens sur cette forme d'artisanat local d'excellence.
Au départ j'ai cru à un vase japonais. superbe !
Superbe trouvaille
You always have such a great way of making all your photographs look so professional...your presentation of them is outstanding! Just stopped by to wish you a happy Halloween weekend, my advice for you...stay inside as there are many spooky creatures roaming outside! lol :-)
