Vase with moth
Émile Gallé1898
Bröhan-Museum
Berlin, Germany
The vase with moth, called Acherontia atropos or death's head hawk moth, actually gives the impression of a nightly, almost eerie mood: caused by the green overlay on colourless glass. In between there are melts and bubbles and a metal foil with opaque black particles. The moth is a colored glass application.
