About the Item

Elegant and iconic molded glass bowl featuring a clean, well-balanced silhouette—an expression of the refined aesthetic sensibility typical of the Art Deco period. Produced in France between 1930 and 1935, the bowl is unsigned, as was often the case at the time, yet it can be confidently attributed to Pierre D’Avesn, who was then working for the Daum glassworks. Pierre D’Avesn, a key figure in the Art Deco glass movement, was born in 1901. He began his career at René Lalique, where he worked for ten years and designed, among other pieces, the renowned Serpent vase and the Tourbillons vase—both now considered among the most valuable Lalique collectibles. In 1926, D’Avesn left Lalique to develop his own style, and from 1930 to 1936 he collaborated with Daum, contributing creatively and technically to the development of innovative molded glass techniques. These allowed for exceptional clarity and brilliance, as seen in the present bowl. Later, he entrusted the production of his designs to the Cristalleries de Saint-Remy. Widely regarded as one of the last great masters of Art Deco glassmaking, D’Avesn passed away at the age of 90. The bowl is in good overall condition.

We kindly suggest that you read the entire description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Original and iconic molded glass bowl; its shape is simple and bold, cleverly proportioned, the result of intelligent aesthetic reflection; chromium oxide and iron oxide were added during glass fusion to achieve the beautiful emerald green coloration; the bowl, in the Art Deco style, was produced in France between 1930 and 1935 by Pierre D'Avesn, an artist who at that time worked at the Daum glassworks, where he developed an innovative molded glass technique, resulting in pieces of stunning transparency and brilliance like our bowl.
