PIERRE D'AVESN (France, 1901 - 1990/91) Art Deco vase, ca. 1930. In glass.
Est: €1,200 - €1,300
PIERRE D'AVESN (France, 1901 - 1990/91). Art Deco vase in glass, ca. 1930. Measurements: 20x 25 cm. Vase designed by Pierre D'Avesn, genuinely following the elegant aesthetics of Art Deco: from the thick glass vase protrude two powerful hemicycle handles that together draw a circle with a textured surface. Pierre D'Avesn, whose real name was Pierre Gire, studied at the School of Decorative Arts in Paris, and with only fourteen years entered to work in the firm of René Lalique, where he learned the arts of glass with this great master. He worked with Lalique for twelve years, and for him he designed some of the most famous pieces of the firm, such as the "Serpent" and "Tourbillons" vases. In 1927 he began working for Daum, designing and supervising the production of its Luneville factory, specializing in Art Deco glass for export, mainly to the United States. However, the factory closed in 1932 due to the Depression, and between 1937 and 1940 D'Avesn worked for Verlys. Although it is not known for sure, it is possible that after World War II he continued to work for the art glass industry, probably in Choisy-Le-Roi/Sèvres.

From the age of 14 years he was employed by no other than René Lalique, the undisputed master glass artist of them all. Lalique purchased the copyrights to all of dAvesns designs at this time, which illustrates the achievements and working-skills that dAvesn demonstrated from a tender age. Designers were not allowed to sign their own designs. DAvesn worked for Lalique for about 10 years designing some of their best-known pieces. Several of his designs for Lalique, still remain to this day some of the most highly desirable patterns of them all, those are vases Serpent and Tourbillons. In 1924, after 10 years working for René Lalique, Pierre dAvesn created his own factory and worked with Saint Rémy glassworks for production of his molds and signed them `P. dAvesn. In 1930 by aged 29 he was manager and principal designer at `Daum Freres at their Croismare glassworks at Luneville in France, where he remained until 1936. DAvesn had learnt one important lesson and made a deal that his designs would have his signature, not `Verrier DArt Lorrain. Naturally his designs were of a much better quality than the other companys products. One year later he took over the Management of `Verlys glass factories (one of the better opalescent glassworks in France at the time) until the outbreak of the Second Wold War in 1940 and still aged just 39 years. The incredible works that dAvesn was responsible for, were not only confined to his employees or for the quality factories of the period that he managed. Some of his most accomplished works he produced as a freelance artist at Choisy-le-Roi glassworks after the War. From 1952 he continued his work at Vannes le Châtel glassworks until 1984. Pierre dAvesn, did far much more than simply contributing to the glass-making world of his era: he established it being a major force to be reckoned with. By comparison René Lalique was well into 50s, before his own mold glass vase and bowl designs were introduced. After Lalique DAvesn had convinced his employers to let him sign his work. So it is difficult to tell which of his companies actually made pieces signed DAvesn. Pierre dAvesn made a prominent contribution through his ongoing achievements into artistic glass designs living in time with actually manufactured Lalique molds.

Est: €300 - €350
PIERRE D'AVESN (France, 1901 - 1990/91). Art Deco vase, ca. 1940. Transparent moulded glass. Signed. Procedure: Private Collection, Spain between 1970-1990. Measurements: 16.5 cm (height); 14.5 cm (diameter). Ornamental vase, design by Pierre d'Avesn, of conical form with lateral rib-like decoration. Pierre D'Avesn, whose real name was Pierre Gire, studied at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and at the age of fourteen he joined the firm of René Lalique, where he learned the glass arts from this great master. He worked with Lalique for twelve years, and designed some of the firm's most famous pieces for him, such as the "Serpent" and "Tourbillons" vases. In 1927 he began working for Daum, designing and supervising production at their Luneville factory, which specialised in Art Deco glass for export, mainly to the United States. However, the factory closed in 1932 due to the Depression, and between 1937 and 1940 D'Avesn worked for Verlys. Although it is not known for certain, it is possible that after the Second World War he continued to work for the art glass industry, probably in Choisy-Le-Roi/Sèvres.

Pierre d'Avesn French Art Deco Very Large Opaline Charger Signed in Mold
Est: -
Intricately detailed large opaline glass charger designed by Pierre d'Avesn in the 1920s/30s. The piece depicts a bird of paradise with a stylized floral background. It is in unblemished condition and measures 38 cm; 15" in diameter. Artists Biography Pierre d’Avesn (1901-1990) is an artistic pseudonym adopted by Pierre Girre, who was a master genius of his genre. From the age of 14 years he was employed by no other than René Lalique, the undisputed master glass artist of them all. Lalique purchased the copyrights to all of d’Avesn’s designs at this time, which illustrates the achievements and working-skills that d’Avesn demonstrated from a tender age. Designers were not allowed to sign their own designs. D’Avesn worked for Lalique for about 10 years designing some of their best-known pieces. Several of his designs for Lalique, still remain to this day some of the most highly desirable patterns of them all, those are vases ‘Serpent’ and ‘Tourbillons’. In 1924, after 10 years working for René Lalique, Pierre d’Avesn created his own factory and worked with Saint Rémy glassworks for production of his molds and signed them `P. d’Avesn’. In 1930 by aged 29 he was manager and principal designer at `Daum Freres’ at their Croismare glassworks at Luneville in France, where he remained until 1936. D’Avesn had learnt one important lesson and made a deal that his designs would have his signature, not `Verrier D’Art Lorrain’. Naturally his designs were of a much better quality than the other company’s products. One year later he took over the Management of `Verlys’ glass factories (one of the better opalescent glassworks in France at the time) until the outbreak of the Second Wold War in 1940 and still aged just 39 years. The incredible works that d’Avesn was responsible for, were not only confined to his employees or for the quality factories of the period that he managed. Some of his most accomplished works he produced as a freelance artist at Choisy-le-Roi glassworks after the War. From 1952 he continued his work at Vannes le Châtel glassworks until 1984. Pierre d’Avesn, did far much more than simply contributing to the glass-making world of his era: he established it being a major force to be reckoned with. By comparison René Lalique was well into 50s, before his own mold glass vase and bowl designs were introduced. After Lalique D’Avesn had convinced his employers to let him sign his work. So it is difficult to tell which of his companies actually made pieces signed D’Avesn. Pierre d’Avesn made a prominent contribution through his ongoing achievements into artistic glass designs living in time with actually manufactured Lalique molds.
