Legras & Cie was a prominent French glassmaking company founded in 1866 in Saint-Denis, near Paris. They were renowned for their high-quality enameled and engraved glassware, particularly during the Art Nouveau period. The company produced a wide range of decorative items, including vases, bowls, and lamps, often featuring intricate floral and scenic designs.
'End of day' glass, also known as 'mottled' or 'splatter' glass, was typically made from the leftover molten glass at the end of a workday. Artisans would combine various colored glass scraps, swirl them together, and then shape them into decorative objects. This technique resulted in unique, one-of-a-kind pieces with vibrant, marbled patterns, making them popular collectibles
