The Leune glass manufactory was founded in 1861 in Epinay near Paris. Between 1904 and 1914 it produced tableware and vases decorated with idyllic landscapes, romantic flowers and such. After the second world war les établissements Leune opened a store and workshop at 28bis rue du Cardinal Lemoine in Paris and came to a bloom when in 1922 Auguste Heiligenstein became its technical advisor and head of the design department. Heiligenstein was a renowned specialist in enameling on glass. He left the company in 1926. And it went bankrupt after the crisis in 1929. Nowadays Eta. Leune is best known for it enameled shades. These shades were made for Leune by Daum. Daum did the engraving and frosting. The workshops of Leune did the enamel. But Leune not only made these lamps with enameled lamp shades. They also made perfume bottles in pressed glass. As well as mushroom lamps and lighting with acid-engraved shades without enamel. See less
