Description
c1920's French André Delattte Cameo Glass Footed Center Bowl. Great piece of<br>Authentic French cameo glass from the 20's or 30's. 9" tall x 7.5" wide with no<br>cracks, chips, or restorations. The yellow looks like uranium glass to me but I<br>can't find any of my UV lights at the moment.<br><br><br>André Delattte himself was born in Châtenois, France, in 1887. He first founded<br>his glass producing company in 1921, close to Nancy. He fabricated engraved<br>glass objects of the kind which was also sold by Daum and Muller Frères.<br>Delatte’s cameo vases and bowls were much more interesting: the objects only<br>incorporated two to three layers of glass, with motives made visible through<br>acid and only little polishing was done afterwards. The designs were common to<br>be solid and clean. Although the motives themselves were not innovative and<br>mostly depicted landscapes and florals, they were attractive to the eye. The<br>company was shut down in 1938, because of the financial crisis at the time.<br><br>tw22
