About the Item

French designer Jean Luce (1895-1964) designed this handsome acid-etched glass vase in the 1930s. The geometric design has repeated decoration all around the vase. The signature is on the underside with the usual Luce monogram. The vase is in good condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. Measurements: 4.94 in diameter (12.5 cm) x 8.25 in high (21 cm). Note: The dots on the underside are protection rubber pads. Note: Jean Luce (1895 – 1964) was a French ceramicist and glassware designer born in Paris. 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)
