About the Item

French designer Jean Luce (1895 - 1964) created this stunning Art Deco mirrored ashtray, desk tidy, or catchall in the 1930s. The vide-poche features a square shape with a thick blue mirrored glass slab and bevelling all around. There is no visible maker's mark. This Jean Luce catchall is in good condition, with minor wear on the surface and a few dark stains due to regular use and aging. Measurements: 3.94 in wide (10 cm) x 3.94 in deep (10 cm) x 0.63 in thick (1.5 cm). Note: Jean Luce (1895 – 1964) was a French ceramicist and glassware designer born in Paris. Jean Luce worked in his father's ceramics shop, which made table crockery. In 1923, he opened his shop, although he could not take over its direction until 1931. From 1931 onwards, specializing in ceramics and glass for the table, Luce concentrated on the double problem of shape and decoration. Painted by hand or from stencils, his motifs were linear and naturalistically styled in the Art Moderne manner, highlighted with gold for luxury pieces. His early work was in clear enameled decoration, and, from c1924, he used sandblasting. In 1935, he designed porcelain and glass for the ocean liner Normandie, adopted by the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique for their other ships. In the early 1930s, he designed glassware produced by Cristal de Saint-Louis and, in the late 1950s, stainless-steel flatware for Sola France. In 1937, he became a member of UAM (Union des Artistes Modernes). He taught at the Ecole des Arts Appliques in Paris and was a technical advisor at Sevres. (Credit: Encyclopedia. design website)
