GIANMARIA POTENZA (ITALIAN B.1936) FOR LA MURRINA VASE, LATE 1960S pale yellow glass incorporating an iron red bullseye(35.5cm high (14in high))Footnote: Provenance: A Private European Collection of Design We would like to thank Marc Heiremans for his assistance in cataloguing the current work. Gianmaria Potenza trained as an artist and sculptor and on occasion worked with both Gio Ponti and Franco Albini. In 1968 he founded La Murrina with Ulderico Moretti. The company was particularly recognised for its glassware although they also produced furniture, lighting and objects too. Potenza's involvement with the company was shortlived and he left in 1975, so this piece dates from a very small window of time and demonstrates his ability to work within the Murano tradition but in a contemporary manner. His later career focussed primarily on interior decoration.

A RARE AND IMPORTANT ARCHAIC BRONZE SNAKE LAMP, WARRING STATES/EARLY WESTERN HAN DYNASTY, the sinuous snake gliding effortlessly up, his body bending six times as his wide jaws engulf one side of the three-lobed channelled oil tray with three prickets, all counterbalanced perfectly by his lower body loosely and naturalistically coiled along the ground forming the base, his lightly cast 'D' shaped scales expanding at the apex of the bend and shrinking on the opposite side, the overall surface covered in a green patina with light patches of malachite and cuprite encrustation. 52cm highProvenance:Sotheby's New York, March 31 - April 1, 2005, Lot 162 Gallery J J Lally, New York Note:Cast in the form of a snake, the simple design of this lamp suggests that it may have been influenced by the art of the Chu State. Snake form lamps are exceptionally rare; one other known example is a Zhou dynasty bronze ornament in the shape of a coiled snake in the Musee Guimet, Paris and illustrated in Alain Thote's 'Aspects of the Serpent on Eastern Zhou Bronzes and Lacquerware', Colloquies on Art and Archaeolgoy in Asian, no 15: The Problem and Meaning in Early Chinese Ritual Bronzes, London 1990, p152, pl 3. Far more common for the Han Dynasty were goose foot lamps; examples of which can be seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and Shanghai Museum, China. Here, the body of the snake bends six times as it winds upwards, its jaws engulfing one side of the three-lobed channelled oil tray, whilst its tail coils at the base in perfect counterbalance. The body has lightly cast 'D' shaped scales; the surface covered in a green patina with patches of malachite and cuprite encrustation. The Bronze Age of China began in 1700 BC and declined after the Han Dynasty (206BC - 220AD). During the Han Dynasty lamps became the main source of lighting and an important household item. Lamps also provided light for the soul's path to the afterlife and most lamps in existence today have been excavated from tombs.

ÉMILE GALLÉ (1864-1904) RARE COROLLA LAMP, 1902-1903 overlaid, acid-etched and fire-polished glass, traces of original gilding to the base, bears maker’s marks to shade and base GALLÉ(shade 35cm high, base 32cm high, approx. total height 64cm)Footnote: Literature: Charpentier, Françoise-Thérèse Le Théâtre du peuple a eu 100 ans cet été 1995, Arts Nouveaux, Bulletin de l'Association des Amis du Musée de l’Ecole de Nancy, 1996, n° 12, pages 3 - 10 where a line drawing of this lamp is illustrated (see illustration) Note: For Émile Gallé, light was a source of justice, truth, and hope. Gallé was inspired by the symbolism of the lamp at a very young age and later he discovered that light also gives other nuances to glass. The arrival of electricity multiplied the decorative possibilities. At the Exposition Universelle of 1889 he created a large ornamental glasswork lamp in the form of a mosque, ‘an immense night-light as if veiled in black silk’. At the Salon du Champ-de-Mars of 1892, he exhibited a ‘violet-aubergine crystal lamp’ inscribed as Twilight with flowers mingled with amethysts and described by the French poet and essayist Sully-Prudhomme at the time; “A large piece of a sumptuous, clouded blood-red purple with ruby shards. Purpurine and livid vegetation is chiselled in relief. The edges are coloured in an opaque dark red to the opening. The frame is made of an inverted corolla in a sculptured palustrine oak.” Gallé really began his interest in electric lighting from 1899, and it is only after the Exposition Universelle of 1900 that he really began to focus his attention on it. He created numerous models in 1902 and in fact supplied examples to the house of his eldest daughter Therese on the occasion of her marriage. He exhibited several lamps at the Marsan Pavilion at the Exposition de l’Ecole de Nancy in 1903 in Paris, which are very similar to the lamp offered here. Electric lighting created by Gallé is characterised by a very pronounced naturalism: hazelwood sconces, iris night-lights, squash girandoles, umbel or flower cluster pendant lamps, columbine suspension lights etc. They are rare and easy to identify - they cannot be confused with the models created in the factory after his death. The lamp presented here is inspired by the snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis). The lampshade and the feet, blown separately, are made of double- glass, the internal layer milky white and the external layer violet-aubergine. The piece is engraved with vegetable acid. Moreover, the feet are engraved in intaglio with stylised snow crystals and a vertical signature Gallé. This lamp is very rare. There is a less rare version with a wrought iron mount that has appeared at auction several times. The interest in these lamps, which date from 1902-03, rests in the fact that they were created by Émile Gallé himself. The majority of lamps that we more commonly find on the market were actually produced by the Etablissements Gallé, twenty years after Gallé’s death in 1904. Lyon & Turnbull would like to thank François Le Tacon for his work in compiling this note.
