This elegant French Art Deco centerpiece decorative bowl was manufactured by the crystal factory Choisy-le-Roi, France, and designed by Pierre D'Avesn. The geometric shape boasts chromed metal handles ornated with Macassar wood accents. The rounded stepped chromed metal bottom holds a deep molded opalescent glass bowl with a floral design. There is no visible maker's mark.
The decorative centerpiece is in excellent condition, with no pronounced signs of wear.
Measurements: 15.38 in wide (39 cm) x 9.25 in deep (23.5 cm) x 6.32 in high (16 cm).
Note: Pierre Gire (1901 - 1984), aka Pierre D'Avesn, was born in 1901. At 14, he started to work with René Lalique and stayed there for 10 years. During this time, Gire created Lalique's well-known "snake" and "swirls" vases, among the most valuable and sought-after Lalique pieces. In 1926, he left René Lalique and started creating his own models. The Cristallerie de Saint-Rémy was manufacturing the D'Avesn pieces. In 1930, Daum Frères asked him to take the artistic direction of their molded glass department in their glass factory in Croismare. He did so until the social movements in France in 1936. In 1937, D'Avesn took over the management of Verlys until 1940. From 1940, he worked for himself, and the Cristallerie de Choisy-le-Roi (Sèvres) manufactured his pieces. He is a prominent designer of molded glass art pieces in France, similar to René Lalique and Sabino.
