About the Item
This elegant French Art Deco centerpiece decorative bowl was manufactured by crystal factory Choisy-le-Roi, France, and designed by Pierre D'Avesn. The geometric shape boasts chromed metal handles ornated with Macassar wood accents. The rounded stepped chromed metal bottom holds a deep molded opalescent glass bowl with a floral design. There is no visible maker's mark.
The decorative centerpiece is in excellent condition, with no pronounced signs of wear.
Measurements: 15.38 in wide (39 cm) x 9.25 in deep (23.5 cm) x 6.32 in high (16 cm).
Note: Pierre Gire (1901 - 1984), aka Pierre D'Avesn, was born in 1901. At 14, he started to work with Rene Lalique and stayed there for 10 years. During this time, Gire created Lalique's well-known "snake" and "swirls" vases, among the most valuable and sought-after Lalique pieces. In 1926, he left René Lalique and started creating his models. The Cristallerie de Saint-Rémy was manufacturing the D'Avesn pieces. In 1930, Daum Freres asked him to take the artistic direction of their molded glass department in their glass factory in Croismare. He did so until the social movements in France in 1936. In 1937, D'Avesn took over the management of Verlys until 1940. From 1940, he worked for himself, and the Cristallerie de Choisy-le-Roi (Sèvres) manufactured his pieces. He is a prominent designer of molded glass art pieces in France, similar to René Lalique and Sabino.

Pierre D'Avesn
Pierre d'Avesn, was born in 1901. In the beginning, at 14 years old, he worked at Rene Lalique's for 10 years. During this period, he designed Lalique's famous "Serpent" vase as well as the "Tourbillons" vase, two of the most highly priced and extremely collectable pieces by Lalique. In 1926, he left René Lalique and created his own models. His pieces were made by Cristallerie de Saint-Rémy. In 1930, Daum Freres asked him to take the artistic direction of their molded glass department in their glassworks in Croismare, which he did until the famous strikes in 1936. In 1937, he took the management of Verlys until World War I in 1940. From 1940, he worked on his own. His pieces were made by Cristallerie de Choisy-le-Roi (Sèvres), surely the most important French glass worker for the molded glass Art pieces with René Lalique and Sabino.

- Art Deco Pierre D'Avesn Molded Glass Bowl, FranceBy Pierre D'AvesnLocated in Prato, TuscanyWe kindly suggest that you read the entire description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Original and iconic molded glass bowl; its shape is simple and decisive, cleverly proportioned, the result of intelligent aesthetic reflection in pure Art Dèco style; although it bears no signature (in this type of bowl it happened often) we can say with certainty that it was produced in France between 1930 and 1935 by Pierre D'Avesn, an artist who at that time worked at the Daum glassworks, where he developed an innovative molded glass technique, obtaining pieces of amazing transparency and brilliance like our bowl. Pierre d'Avesn was born in 1901 and initially worked at Rene Lalique for 10 years. During this time, he designed Lalique's famous "Snake" vase and the "Tourbillons" vase, two of "Lalique's" most expensive collectibles...Category
