Manufactory: Société Anonyme des Pâtes de Verre d'Argy-Rousseau, Paris, France
Dating of manufacture: circa 1925
Designer:
Joseph Gabriel Argy-Rousseau (1885-1953) was a French Art Nouveau and Art Deco glass artist and ceramist. In the École Nationale des Céramiques de Sèvres (from 1902) he met the son of the pioneer of the pâte de verre technique, Henry Cros. He first worked in a research laboratory to develop dental porcelain, after which he devoted himself exclusively to pâte de verre glass art. After his marriage, he took part of his wife's maiden name (Argyriadès) and henceforth called himself 'Argy-Rousseau'. He took part very successfully in the Salons des Artistes Français in Paris. In 1921 he met the gallery owner and glassworks owner Gustave Gaston Moser-Millot, with whom he founded the Société Anonyme des Pâtes de Verre d'Argy-Rousseau. Argy-Rousseau never disclosed its manufacturing process of pâte de verre and retained the exclusive rights. Nature was
an important theme in his work, in which he primarily depicted flowers, insects, animals and female forms. Many of his vases were entwined with flowers at the top. From 1917 onwards, the forms of his works became longer, reflecting the influence of Japanese art. Scenes from ancient mythology (as in Le Jardin des Hespérides) were also common motifs. He often varied the thickness of the glass and, depending on the design, from semi-transparent to opaque.
Technique:
Pâte de verre (English glass paste) is a technique used in the production of multi-colored glass. A cold-formed paste made of glass powder and dyes is filled into a refractory mold and then fired in a muffle furnace, whereby the glass melts into the desired shape. To achieve polychrome color effects, the process is repeated with other colors. The technique was already known in ancient Rome and Egypt. Particularly in the Art Nouveau period and later in the Art Deco period, she found artistic use again in works by French glass artists such as Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, Henry Cros, Albert Dammouse, François Décorchemont, Amalric Walter, Émile Gallé and George Despret.

Signed 'AWALTER NANCY' on the top. Manufactory: Amalric Walter, Nancy, Lorraine, France Dating of manufacture: circa 1920/1925 Designer: VICTOR AMALRIC WALTER (1870-1959) was a French glass manufacturer mainly known for his pâte de verre pieces. In the Cristalleries Daum at Nancy, France, he met the designer and modelist HENRI BERGÉ, with whom he produced the first pâtes de verre, which at the time were only signed with "Daum Nancy". After the war he continued to work with Henri Bergé. From 1919 to 1935 he cast no fewer than 500 models with Bergé and other famous sculptors or designers, always in few numbers due to the sophisticated technique of glass kiln casting.
