He was a member of the Paris 'art-glass' fraternity and a pupil (later partner) of Eugène Rousseau, one of the movement's founders. This piece was made after 1885 when Leveillé took over Rousseau's workshop.  The glass was made, possibly, by either Appert Frères or at Clichy to Léveillé's design and decorated in Paris with a repeating pattern of peacock's tail feathers. The unusually simple vase was bought from Léveillé himself. Léveillé exhibited in the Universal Exhibition, Paris, in 1889 and it is possible that this vase was included or that Léveillé's exhibit encouraged the Museum to approach him privately.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Vase and cover, France (Paris), made by Ernest-Baptiste Leveillé glass workshop, 1889, 78-1890","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Arwas,V; Art N - Art deco, Leveille and Rousseau; Beard, G: International Modern Glass"}],"production":"Léveillé studied and subsequently collaborated with Eugène Rousseau and like him and many of their contemporaries his first work was inspired by the Far East, particularly Japan.","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"peacock feathers","id":"x31381"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"Label for 'American and European Art and Design 1800-1900', Gallery 101, de-canted March 2017:\r\n\r\n'7\r\nGlass Vase and Cover\r\n1889\r\nPossibly shown at the International Exhibition, Paris, 1889\r\n\r\nLeveillé studied with the retailer and ceramicist François-Eugène Rousseau (see no. 3) and later collaborated with him.
