About the Item

Bulbous bowl of colorless pâte de verre with colored powder inclusions in yellow, red & black, relief decoration with stylized ears of grain and geometric triangle and diamond pattern. Signed 'G. Argy-Rousseau' on the body, 'FRANCE' pressed on the underside of the base. Manufactory: Société Anonyme des Pâtes de Verre d'Argy-Rousseau, Paris, France Dating of manufacture: circa 1925 Designer: Joseph Gabriel Argy-Rousseau (1885-1953) was a French Art Nouveau and Art Deco glass artist and ceramist. In the École Nationale des Céramiques de Sèvres (from 1902) he met the son of the pioneer of the pâte de verre technique, Henry Cros. He first worked in a research laboratory to develop dental porcelain, after which he devoted himself exclusively to pâte de verre glass art. After his marriage, he took part of his wife's maiden name (Argyriadès) and henceforth called himself 'Argy-Rousseau'. He took part very successfully in the Salons des Artistes Français in Paris. In 1921 he met the gallery owner and glassworks owner Gustave Gaston Moser-Millot, with whom he founded the Société Anonyme des Pâtes de Verre d'Argy-Rousseau. Argy-Rousseau never disclosed its manufacturing process of pâte de verre and retained the exclusive rights. Nature was an important theme in his work, in which he primarily depicted flowers, insects, animals and female forms. Many of his vases were entwined with flowers at the top. From 1917 onwards, the forms of his works became longer, reflecting the influence of Japanese art. Scenes from ancient mythology (as in Le Jardin des Hespérides) were also common motifs. He often varied the thickness of the glass and, depending on the design, from semi-transparent to opaque. Technique: Pâte de verre (English glass paste) is a technique used in the production of multi-colored glass. A cold-formed paste made of glass powder and dyes is filled into a refractory mold and then fired in a muffle furnace, whereby the glass melts into the desired shape. To achieve polychrome color effects, the process is repeated with other colors. The technique was already known in ancient Rome and Egypt. Particularly in the Art Nouveau period and later in the Art Deco period, she found artistic use again in works by French glass artists such as Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, Henry Cros, Albert Dammouse, François Décorchemont, Amalric Walter, Émile Gallé and George Despret.
