Doyen “Yvette” Champagne / Cocktail Service – Set of Six Belgium, Art Deco period, circa 1930s An elegant and highly collectible six-piece champagne or cocktail service produced by the renowned Belgian glassmaker Doyen (Havré-Ville) during the Art Deco era. This refined model, Yvette, perfectly reflects the understated sophistication of Belgian decorative arts from the 1930s, combining clean architectural lines with delicate hand craftsmanship. Each glass has been individually hand-engraved with a charming geometric and botanical motif, creating a subtle play of light across the crystal. The decoration remains beautifully understated, allowing the purity and brilliance of the material to take center stage while adding unmistakable artisanal character. A particularly remarkable aspect of this service is the material itself. Doyen most commonly produced its tableware in crystallin (high-quality crystal glass), whereas this example is crafted from true lead crystal, distinguished by its exceptional clarity, weight, and unmistakable resonant ring. Such examples are encountered far less frequently and represent a more luxurious production, making this service especially desirable for collectors of Belgian Art Deco glass. The authenticity of the model is further supported by an original Doyen catalogue illustration, included in the documentation, where the Yvette service is officially illustrated and identified. Although created during the Art Deco period nearly a century ago, the timeless conical silhouette feels remarkably contemporary. Its refined proportions and minimalist elegance allow the glasses to integrate effortlessly into modern table settings, where they pair just as naturally with contemporary design as they do with classic interiors. Whether used for champagne, sparkling cocktails, or sophisticated desserts, this service brings both historical significance and enduring style to the table. The set remains in excellent vintage condition, with no chips or cracks, preserving the brilliance and elegance expected from a fine Belgian crystal service of this quality. In the early 20th century, Jean-Baptiste Doyen and his son Gaston established a glass factory in Havré-Ville, near Mons, Belgium. Originally named Verreries Gobeleteries d’Havré-Ville, the company specialized in producing high-quality blown glassware, including tableware, lighting, and decorative pieces. Doyen’s work became particularly renowned for its Art Deco designs, featuring elegant shapes, refined engravings, and meticulous craftsmanship. A notable example is a set of mouth-blown glasses adorned with finely scoured olive shapes and intricate fan patterns, showcasing the exquisite attention to detail of the era. Among Doyen’s most celebrated creations is the “Floralies” series, which embodies the refined elegance of Art Deco design. Produced in the early 20th century, these vases are distinguished by their bold geometric forms, intricate detailing, and rich, vibrant colors. One of the most remarkable models, no. 150, crafted in the 1930s, features striking vertical stripes and a distinctive corrugated collar, often produced in warm brown glass. Many pieces from the series still bear the “Floralies” label, preserving their legacy and making them easily recognizable among collectors. Today, Doyen’s glassware remains highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors of Belgian Art Deco pieces. Their timeless elegance and historical significance continue to make them prized additions to vintage collections, standing as a testament to Belgium’s rich glassmaking tradition and artistic heritage.
