About the Item

French designer Jean Luce (1895-1964) created this impressive 1930s acid-etched glass vase. The geometric design with repeated decoration is all around the vase. The artist's signature is underside with the usual known monogram. The vase is in good condition, with very minor wear due to age. Measurements: 8.69 in diameter (22 cm) x 9.88 in high (25 cm). Note: Jean Luce was a French ceramicist and glassware designer. Born in Paris in 1895, Luce worked in his father's ceramics shop, which made table crockery. In 1921, Jean Luce first showed his work at the Musée Galliéra, Paris, and subsequently at the Salons d'Automne and Salons of the SAD (Société des Artistes Décorateurs). In 1923, Jean Luce opened his shop, although he didn't take over its direction until 1931. He was a juror at the 1925 Paris "Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes." From 1931 onwards, specializing in ceramics and glass for the table, Jean 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 c.1924, he used sandblasting. In 1935, Luce designed porcelain and glass for the ocean liner Normandie. These designs were later adopted by the "Compagnie Générale Transatlantique" for their other ships. In the early 1930s, Jean Luce 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) and exhibited at the 1937 Paris "Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques Dans la Vie Moderne" in the UAM Pavilion. He was responsible for the glassware-plate section of the 1949-50 "Formes Utiles" exhibition at the Pavilion de Marsan and exhibited in its 1953 and 1958 exhibitions. Jean Luce taught at the Ecole des Arts Appliqués in Paris and was a technical advisor at Sèvres. (Credit: Docantic)
