Carafe "Legras" year 1896

Cake walk a dance created by the slaves. A rarity of françois-théodore legras. Originally from lorraine (vosges) where he learned his trade as a glassmaker. Often confused with his son charles who took over the company in 1909! Francois-théodore legras made this carafe in 1896! To present it only in 1900 at the universal exhibition and will be referenced in the catalog under the number 1615. The engraving of this carafe represents the cake walk a dance created by the slaves to mock their masters! It is therefore a political act that legras signs there.
