AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Crystal candlestick by Pierre D'Avesn enriched with manganese
I am selling this magnificent vintage glass candlestick.
Very carefully packaged with bubble wrap.
Materials: Crystal enriched with manganese, offering a bright, sparkling green hue under a 365 nm UV lamp.
Condition: Very good.
Signature: Pierre D'Avesn Made in France
Year: 30/40
Dimensions: height 7 cm, top diameter 11 cm, base diameter 5 cm, depth 5 cm, opening 5.5 cm, 719 grams.
Features: Glass candlestick or small glass tray that is transparent and bubbled in places, giving a sand-blasted look. Original and emblematic molded glass bowl.
History: It was made around 1940 in France. Transparent color. The molded glass bowl is original and emblematic; its form is simple and decisive, cleverly proportioned, the result of intelligent aesthetic thinking. The bowl, in Art Deco style, was produced in France between 1930 and 1935 by Pierre D'Avesn, an artist who worked at the Daum glassworks at that time, where he developed an innovative molded glass technique, yielding pieces of remarkable transparency and brilliance like our bowl. This piece is attributed to the designer/manufacturer mentioned. Pierre d’AVESN (1901-1990) was a sculptor who produced Art Deco models and décors in industrial molded glass by pressing. Born Pierre Girre, he received classical training at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Paris at the time François Decorchemont taught there.
