Classic 'King Tut' Signed Durand American Glass Vase c 1924

About the Item

Stunning Large signed Durand vase made in the USA c1924, by Furnace workers who previously had worked at both Tiffany and Quezal. It is signed Durand with their characteristic V - 1700 for the shape code and 8 for the height in inches. The vase is iridised orange and covered in thin green trails; a design commonly known as 'King Tut'. American Art Nouveau glass began its rise in popularity in the 1890s. Manufactured for a relatively short time, Durand art glass was introduced into the market nearly a quarter of a century later and can be seen as America’s last hoorah in the realm of rich and lustrous hand blown iridescent art glass. Its popularity followed in the footsteps and traditions of earlier American manufacturers, namely, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Frederick Carder and Martin Bach, whose combined artistic visions helped to create and then satisfy the elite market demand for luxury glass. Victor Durand Jr. was born in Baccarat, France, in 1870. Like his father, grandfather and perhaps even his great-grandfather, he once worked in the world-renowned glass factory of the Cristalleries de Baccarat in Baccarat, France. He was only twelve or thirteen at the time, and his association with this factory was brief, perhaps only a year or two. At age fourteen, he left France to join his father at Whitall Tatum and Company in Millville, New Jersey, where his father had already been working for a year. The younger Durand worked at this company for several years until he went to work at a nearby glassworks, the Wheaton Glass Company, also in Millville, where he learned additional aspects of glassmaking, including glassblowing. Subsequently, he worked at other glassworks in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Glassboro (New Jersey) and even in Canada.
