THIS INCREIBLY STYLISH EXAMPLE OF THE FRENCH ART DECO MOVEMENT DATES FROM THE 1930s AND, ALTHOUGH NOT SIGNED, IS BY THE RENOWNED FRENCH GLASS MAKER, DEGUE.

THE VASQUE IS OF A COMBINATION OF  OPAQUE AND TRANSLUCENT GLASS IN PATE DE VERRE (HAND MOULDED THICK HEAVY GLASS).  THE COLOUR IS OF A LOVELY PALE ROSE PINK, WITH THE CLEARLY DEFINED TRANSLUCENT PATTERNS CONTRASTING DRAMATICALLY WITH THE OBSCURE GLASS.

THE GEOMETRIC DESIGNS ARE IN A CLASSIC ART DECO  DEGUE FORM OF BOLDLY SCULPTED ABSTRACT LEAF AND FLOWER MOTIFS INTERPOSED WITH STRIKING GEOMETRIC DIAGONAL LINES, ACCENTUATING THE ABSTRACT NATURE OF THE DESIGN WHICH   CHARACTERISES THE STYLE AND SKILL OF THIS TALENTED GLASS MAKER.   THE VASQUE IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF THE ART DECO  STYLE OF THE PERIOD TO CREATE A STUNNINGLY ARTISTIC WORK OF ART. 

THE PATE DE VERRE VASQUE HAS  FIXATIONS ALONG WITH BRASS CHAIN AND CEILING ROSE (NOT PERIOD).

THE VASQUE IS SIMPLY LIT BY A HANGING  BULB.  THE CONDITION IS EXCELLENT.

THESE WONDERFULLY DECORATIVE PERIOD FRENCH PATE DE VERRE VASQUES WERE EXTREMELY POPULAR DURING THE ART DECO MOVEMENT IN FRANCE OF THE 1920-30's AND FEW HAVE SURVIVED INTACT.   PIECES OF THIS QUALITY ARE BECOMING MUCH SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS AS AN INVESTMENT. THE HAND MADE VASQUES WERE MADE BY ESTABLISHED AND OFTEN RENOWNED GLASS MAKERS AND THE QUALITY OF THE HEAVY GLASS AND WORKMANSHIP IS REALLY EXCEPTIONAL. 

THIS UNUSUAL  PIECE WEIGHS OVER 3 KILOS, A CERTAIN SIGN OF THE IMMENSE QUALITY OF THE PIECE.
