Pixie Lamp, Millefiori Glass - DANSEUSE DES INDES

Pixie Lamp with Millefiori Glass - " DANSEUSE DES INDES " by Ignacio Gallo

One of the lamps now in my collection is this Pixie lamp whose creator is now shown for the first time I might add, although as most pixie lamps they are sometimes credited as Gerdago, although there is info in the Encyclopedia of Bronzes that refutes this idea. This similar dancer is by Ignacio Gallo.

The 3rd and 4th pictures in my collectors weekly blog are recreated from page 1173 of the Encyclopedia of Bronzes the brilliant work of Harold Berman. 4 Volumes completes the authors 12 year search for and visual recording of the vast number of bronze sculptures known to have been produced in the period 1800-1930. To illustrate how complete, most all the photos were taken by Mr. Berman.

Millefiori means "a thousand flowers" in Italian and is the name given to the type of Murano glass filled with floral designs.

Ignacio Gallo was born in Valladolid, Spain in the late 19th Century. He worked in Madrid and Paris in the inter-war years and specialized in statuettes of bathers, dancers, nudes and goddesses.
