AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Art Deco vase/base by Oréor, a brand name of the Brussels firm Van Haeleweyck Frères, founded in 1855 and still in existence in 1929. Their address was 63-69 Rue du Vautour (Gierstraat), Brussels. A recovered invoice adds, alongside the name "Lusterie - Van Haelesweyck Frs - Pendules", also 'Verrerie d'eclairage' (Glass lighting).

Given the nature of the company, these designs seem (primarily) intended for use as table lamp bases. It is not clear where VH had their lamp bases made. Details suggest that Scailmont, Sars, Hunebelle and Muller Freres (among others) could have carried out such a commission. For more information see: https://www.hogelandshoeve.be/index433.html

So far, six models/molds have been found, and they were probably available in black, light amber (honey), light blue, cobalt blue, sea green, uranium green, and light purple. This light-pink version adds a new color to the well-known spectrum.

The vase is in good used condition with normal to minor signs of aging. Small embedded glass bubbles and glass threads are typical for the production process of that time. Impressed into the body is the Oréor logo (see photo). The "Oréor" mark sits on the side of the mold (not the base!) and is written in script.

The height is approx. 17.5 cm, the diameter is 19 cm.

Photos are part of the description. Will be carefully packaged, shipped insured, and with a tracking code to your home. We do not ship outside the EU or to (island) countries with special customs regulations.
