1920's Durand Blue Cut to Clear glass Vase. 8 5/8" tall with no cracks, chips,<br>or restorations. Does appear to have some cloudiness in the interior which I<br>didn't attempt to remove. unmarked.<br><br>Durand art glass was made between 1924 and 1931. Durand was the art glass<br>division of Vineland Flint Glass Works in New Jersey which was founded by Victor<br>Durand in 1897. Many of the glass artists came from the Quezal Art Glass company<br>which closed in 1924. The artists at Durand were granted a great deal of freedom<br>to produce glass in a variety of styles. Many pieces were blown using an unusual<br>yellow glass which many collectors now refer to as "Ambergris". Durand produced<br>a wide variety of art glass items including bowls, vases, perfume bottles,<br>candlesticks and lamps. Durand's art glass quickly gained fame for its beauty<br>and quality. In 1926 Durand received a medal of honor at the Sesquicentennial<br>International Exposition in Philadelphia. Sadly production ceased in 1931 when<br>Victor Durand died in an auto accident.<br>b34
