About Degué :
Degué was founded by David Guéron (1892 – 1950).
Born in Turkey, he joined the French Foreign Legion at the age of 22, being pensioned out after being wounded at the Western Front.
He set up his glass works in Compiègne after the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, producing tableware & other functional glass.
In 1926 he began to produce French art glass that he called “Degué”, opening the Verrerie d’Art Degué in Paris, a glassworks at Boulevard Malesherbes along with a gallery at 41, Avenue de Paris.
He used mainly natural motifs on his cameo glass pieces and became known for his use of bright colors although items made after 1930 were frosted and more subdued
Degué made vases, paperweights, bowls, perfume bottles, stemware items such as liqueur glasses, lightshades, chandeliers, art glass lamps, and half-round ceiling lampshades made of translucent layers of colorless glass internally decorated by swirls of color.
Degué was commissioned to create 6000 individual crafted glass panels for the French ocean liner SS Normandie which was launched in 1935. (The Normandie was seized by US authorities at New York and renamed USS Lafayette and in 1942 whilst being converted to a troopship, caught fire and capsized in New York harbor.)
The Degué glassworks stopped operating in 1936 due to the great strikes and was officially closed in 1939 at the outbreak of WWII. less
