Art Deco Glass Centerpiece - Verlys France

Centerpiece in molded glass, signed VERLYS France. VERLYS (1925-1946) a French brand of the company Holophane (verrerie des Andelys - Hanots, France). It is an art glassware for the table and decorative objects. The creation of the VERLYS brand comes from the contraction of VERrerie des AndeLYS). This artistic production was made up of several hundred different pieces. The various catalogs that we know bear witness to the quality and the diversity of the pieces manufactured: vases, bowls, animal subjects, religious ... The Verlys brand found its letters of nobility in major exhibitions alongside glassware from Lalique - Etling - Sabino ... and soon attracted great glassmakers. The signature of these pieces was engraved either in the pocket or on the core of the mold. The same part could have different colors, nevertheless referenced in a catalog. This artistic production was unfortunately not very profitable for the Holophane company. The Verlys manufacture was therefore abandoned around 1946 in favor of this headlight mirror.
