Description

This French art deco vase was designed by David Gueron (1882-1950) for his company “Verrerie d’Art Degue”, located in Paris at 41 avenue de Paris, whith his glass works fifty miles north in Compiegne*. Gueron named his glass “Degue” which is a play on his name and means “of Gue”. This vase was made from glass powders and mouth blown. The yellow ground was overlaid in dark blue (at the base) ocher (on the middle) and a mottled royal blue (at the top) then acid etched to reveal the geometric floral scene. The vase is signed on the foot “degue” and is 17 ¾” tall and 9 ½” in diameter. *Verreier d’Art Degue was opened in 1926 and stopped work in 1936 due to the effects of the depression and a prolonged lawsuit with the firm of Charles Schneider.
