Fains Art Deco Silver Overlay on Black Opaline Glass Vase, a pair, 1930s
About the Item
This lovely 1930s French Art Deco black glass vase set boasts a silver deposit decoration around the top, a striped geometric pattern. Each piece is marked underside with the monogram "F" for Fains. This type of glass is often called "black glass" or "black opaline," but it has a rich amethyst-purple hue when exposed to bright light.
The vases are in fine original condition with some rubbing and age wear. The light fading to the geometric design is more pronounced on one piece than on the other.
Dimensions: 4.32 in diameter (11 cm) x 8.25 in high (21 cm).
Note: Manufacturer, Verrerie de Fains-Les-Sources
On March 8, 1864, Auguste Schmid bought an old brewery located in Fains to transform it into a glass factory. Associated with Germain-Emile du Houx, owner of a glass factory in Hennezel (Vosges), they founded the Verrerie A. Schmid et du Houx (September 3, 1864).
The factory gradually took off with several improvements: a second furnace was commissioned in 1871, the Halle was enlarged in 1882, blown and pressed glass was produced in 1929, and an automatic furnace was commissioned in 1946.
The factory will change its name several times. From "A.Schmid et du Houx" (1864) to "Vve du Houx et Lucien du Houx" and "Verreries Veuve Marquot et Fils" in 1912 and finally "Compagnie Française du Cristal" (Daum) after the merger of the five factories of Bayel (Aube), Vannes le Chatel (Meurthe and Moselle), Vallery-Stahl (Moselle), Portieux (Vosges) and Fains (Meuse.)
The group will employ 2,300 people, including 255 at Fains, and its production will reach 12,000 pieces at its peak.
