Amalric Walter and Henri Bergé "Flying Fish" Pâte de Verre Vide-Poche Glass Dish
About the Item
A ravishing compromise between the Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles, this hexagonal pâte de verre vide poche by Amalric Walter and Henri Bergé features a strong architectural shape softened by a lush vortex of pastel colors. A flying fish with raised spine and rigid ribbing on its splayed fins swims languidly through a shallow pool of aqua ripples and speckled kelly green kelp, its body twisting into a serpentine "S," perfectly filling the space within the hexagonal form.

- Art Nouveau Pâte De Verre Vide-Poche 'Deux Poissons', Amalric Walter, FranceBy Amalric WalterLocated in Vienna, ATDecorative pâte-de-verre vide-poche: bowl in yolk yellow, one side overflowing in dark blue, swimming around each other, plastically formed goldfish couple. Signed 'AWALTER NANCY' on the top. Manufactory: Amalric Walter, Nancy, Lorraine, France Dating of manufacture: circa 1920/1925 Designer: VICTOR AMALRIC WALTER (1870-1959) was a French glass manufacturer mainly known for his pâte de verre pieces. In the Cristalleries Daum at Nancy, France, he met the designer and modelist HENRI BERGÉ, with whom he produced the first pâtes de verre, which at the time were only signed with "Daum Nancy". After the war he continued to work with Henri Bergé. From 1919 to 1935 he cast no fewer than 500 models with Bergé and other famous sculptors or designers, always in few numbers due to the sophisticated technique of glass kiln casting. Technique: Pâte de verre (English glass paste) is a technique used in the production of multi-colored glass. A cold-formed paste made of glass powder and dyes is filled into a refractory mold and then fired in a muffle furnace, whereby the glass melts into the desired shape. To achieve polychrome color effects, the process is repeated with other colors. The technique was already known in ancient Rome and Egypt. Particularly in the Art Nouveau period and later in the Art Deco period, she found artistic use again in works by French glass artists such as Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, Henry Cros...Category
