RENÉ LALIQUE (Ay, France, 1860- Paris, 1945)."Vase no. 3. France, ca. 1925.Art Deco tabletop centrepiece of circular form in acid-etched moulded glass with vegetal decorations and borders.Signed R. Lalique in the central area.Work reproduced in "Le Catalogue Raisonné del L'Ouvre en Verre de R. Lalique", by Felix Marcilhac, Les Editions de l'Amateur , Pag. 702, nº. 3020 with photo.Procedure: Private Collection, Spain between 1970-1990.Measurements: 2.5 cm (height); 23.5 cm (diameter).The firm Lalique was originally founded by René Jules Lalique (1860 - 1945), one of the most prominent glassmakers of the time, and one of the first to sculpt glass for large monumental works, such as the fountains on the Champs Elysées. He enjoyed great renown for his original creations of jewellery, perfume bottles, glasses, plates, etc., in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. He trained with the Parisian jeweller Louis Aucoq, and then continued his studies at Sudenham Art College in London. The excellence of his creations and the taste he applied to his work earned him important commissions for the interior decoration of ships, trains such as the Orient Express, churches such as Saint-Nicasius in Reims, and numerous religious and civil goldsmiths' works. Lalique was not content with simply designing his models, but also founded a factory to produce them in large quantities, patenting several innovative glass manufacturing processes, and various technical effects such as "Lalique satin" or opalescent glass. Pieces by Lalique are preserved in prominent museums such as the Corning Museum of Glass and the Metropolitan Museum of Glass in New York, the Louvre and the Orsay Museum in Paris, among many others.
PIERRE D'AVESN (France, 1901 - 1990/91).Art Deco vase, ca. 1930.Moulded and satin-finished glass, with relief ornamentation.Signed on the reverse.Provenance: Private collection, Spain between 1970-1990.Measurements: 20 cm (height); 15 cm (diameter).Ornamental vase, designed by Pierre d'Avesn, with a conical body and floral decoration in relief. It retains traces of polychromy. Pierre D'Avesn, whose real name was Pierre Gire, studied at the School of Decorative Arts in Paris, and at the age of fourteen he joined the firm of René Lalique, where he learned the glass arts from this great master. He worked with Lalique for twelve years, and designed some of the firm's most famous pieces for him, such as the "Serpent" and "Tourbillons" vases. In 1927 he began working for Daum, designing and supervising production at their Luneville factory, which specialised in Art Deco glass for export, mainly to the United States. However, the factory closed in 1932 due to the Depression, and between 1937 and 1940 D'Avesn worked for Verlys. Although it is not known for certain, it is possible that after the Second World War he continued to work for the art glass industry, probably in Choisy-Le-Roi/Sèvres.
PALLME-KÖNIG Art Nouveau vase. Bohemia, ca. 1910.Iridescent glass. Silver mouthpiece.Unsigned.Provenance: Spanish private collection, formed between 1970 and 1995. Measurements: 18.5 cm (height); 6.5 cm (largest diameter).PALLME-KÖNIG Art Nouveau vase, in iridescent blown glass with wavy decoration. The vase has silver fittings with English Birmingham punches by the silversmith C. Robathan & Son.Of the glass produced in the Czechoslovak Art Nouveau period, perhaps the most distinctive, and most frequently imitated by others, is that of the firm of Pallme-König. In 1888, Josef and Theodor Pallme-König founded their glass factory, under the name Elizabethhütte, in honour of their mother. Although this was always the official name, the factory is better known as Pallme-König. Around 1900, Wilhelm Hable, co-owner of the factory, patented the technique that would make them famous, which can be seen in this vase. It is a process for producing glass decorated on its surface in a special way, with glass threads encircling the piece. This technique eventually became known as spun glass, and was in common use in virtually all Bohemian modernist glass factories, such as Loetz or Kralik. The personal trademark of Pallme-König production is based on the maximum exploitation of the possibilities of glass, of its viscosity. Pallme-König pieces are kept in important museums specialising in Art Nouveau, such as the Brohan Museum in Berlin, the Passau Museum in Passau, also in Germany, and the Corning Museum in the United States.
Possibly by WILHELM KRALIK & SOHNE, Bohemia, ca. 1910.Art Nouveau vase, ca.1910.Blown and bent glass, red and white two-tone, gilt borders.Procedure: Private Collection, Spain between 1970-1990.Measurements: 14,5 x 20 x 20 cm.Blown glass vase, with a flexible and fluid shape, typical of Art Nouveau. The way the mouth is bent to form attractive flaps, as well as the iridescent mottling in combination with gilded borders, are characteristic of the glass work of the Bohemian house of Wilhelm Kralik and Sohne.The firm Wilhelm Kralik & Sohne was founded in 1881, and focused on the production of iridescent art glass and applied wires, as well as a series of pieces inspired by those of Loetz. They also produced glass with an outer layer of silver. Kralik is especially known for its main productions: "Martelle", iridescent pieces combining white and pink glass and veins of other colours randomly distributed on the surface; and a set of pieces made in white and silver glass, with irregular textures. The factory closed during World War II.
