Art Deco Opalescent White Glass Vase by André Hunebelle

About the Item

Art Deco mold-blown Opalescent glass vase by the firm of Hunebelle; round in shape and with a pattern of horizontal lines and angular indentations running all around the piece. Made in France. Signature: "A. Hunebelle" and "France" in the mold on bottom. Andre Hunebelle was born in Paris in 1896. He studied Mathematics at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, but these studies were interrupted by his involvement in the First World War. After the war, Hunebelle began designing pressed glass inspired by the work of Rene Lalique. He was friendly with Lalique's son . A Unique Style In 1927 Hunebelle exhibited his first collection of glass, which rapidly became fashionable and brought him popular acclaim. Although similar to Lalique's glass in many respects, Hunebelle's work maintained a unique identity and style. He was influenced greatly by his love of Mathematics and the prevailing fashion for what we now call Art Deco. The decoration of his designs was often very stylised or abstract and frequently used contrasting planes of glossy and frosted glass Andre Hunebelle created a range of vases, bowls, plates, ornaments and lamps and opened a luxury shop in Paris. (the address of which is variously quoted as being at the rue de la Boetie, Avenue Victor Emmanuel-III and the Champs Elysees) Etienne Franckhauser who also made moulds for Lalique and Sabino made the moulds for Hunebelle's glass. Much of his work, particularly in the earlier years, was in colourless glass, although he increasingly used coloured glass for his designs and is well known for his opalescent glass. He invented a style of port decanter which became very popular and was copied in several countries (with the handle at the top and pouring spout at a 45 degree angle on the side Hunebelle pieces were marked in several ways. The most common was A.HUNEBELLE-FRANCE in moulded capitals either within the glass design or on the base. Other pieces are marked simply " A.HUNEBELLE". There was also a paper label with an A and H superimposed as shown in the diagram below, and since these labels were often lost, these pieces may appear completely unmarked. In the author's collection there are pieces marked A.HUNEBELLE both with and without the word FRANCE, and a bowl marked "MADE IN FRANCE" that is identical to one shown in a Hunebelle catalogue. Hunebelle also used a more elaborate makers mark imprinted on some glass pieces which had the word "FRANCE" encircled by the words "MADE IN FRANCE MOSELLE DEP et R COGNEVILLE" and with "A. HUNEBELLE" underneath
