manufactory: gabriel argy-rousseau / made in france / paris, circa 1920 - 1925
designer: gabriel argy-rousseau (1885 - 1953 paris) joseph gabriel rousseau (called gabriel argy-rousseau) - born in meslay-le-vidame in the year 1885 and died in year 1953 in paris - was a sculptor, ceramics artist as well as glass specialist who entered into the equation when the so-said pâte de verre technique had been rediscovered as an important branch of glass art around turn of century.
technique of manufacture: pâte de verre ( glass casting is the process in which glass objects are cast by directing molten glass into a mould where it solidifies. - the technique has been used since the egyptian period. Modern cast glass is formed by a variety of processes such as kiln casting, or casting into sand, graphite or metal moulds. - pâte de verre is another form of kiln casting and literally translated means glass paste. In this process, finely crushed glass is mixed with a binding material, such as a mixture of gum arabic and water, and often with colourants and enamels. The resultant paste is applied to the inner surface of a negative mould forming a coating. After the coated mould is fired at the appropriate temperature the glass is fused creating a hollow object that can have thick or thin walls depending on the thickness of the pate de verre layers.
