"Langouste" Pâte de Verre Paperweight by Walter and Bergé
About the Item
This French Art Nouveau pâte de verre paperweight (or "Presse Papiers") by Amalric Walter and Henri Bergé is an earlier, and smaller version of a series of "Langouste" paperweights from the duo. The paperweight has a reddish-brown, crimson-spotted "Langouste," or spiny lobster, resting resolutely on a sculpted pâte de verre base of swirling yellows and greens, as if it were a rock carpeted in fine algae, swayed by the sea. The lovely detail in the posturing of the creature, the careful arrangement of its legs and tail, suggest that it is bracing itself against the pull of an invisible tide.

Pâte-de-verre existed in ancient Egypt and was discussed by Pliny the Elder but its technique was lost for nearly 2,000 years until Walter and other glass artists unlocked the secret of its formula.

Two mussels on a yellow stone base covered with algae. Signed 'AWALTER NANCY' and 'hm'.
Manufactory: Amalric Walter & Henri Bergé, Nancy, Lorraine, France
Dating of manufacture: circa 1920/1930
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.
