Art Nouveau biscuit bucket in enameled glass, model known as "Tokyo Chrysanthemums," attributable to Legras establishments, circa 1900. Beautiful piece in transparent oval-shaped glass, adorned with a rich naturalistic decoration of polychrome enameled chrysanthemums in red-brown, pink, ivory, and yellow tones, accompanied by delicate foliage highlighted in gold. This decoration is known and referenced among Legras productions from the Art Nouveau period. The bucket retains its original metal mount, its domed lid, and twisted handle, all showing an authentic patina of time. The glass is in very good condition, without chips or cracks. The enameling is still very well preserved. The metal shows oxidation and a patina consistent with the age of the piece. Note: one side attachment of the handle is broken, restoration possible; sold as is and visible in the photographs. Dimensions: H. 18 cm – Ø 12 cm.
