Art Deco Glass
Art Deco, originally known as Les Arts Décoratifs et Industriels, features streamlined geometrics, stylized figures and plant life. Art Glass from this period is highly representative of this style and many of the mass-produced flawless pieces are highly valuable to collectors.
During the Art Deco period, the engraved glass styles from the late 19th century were revived and restylised using new techniques. The development of new techniques is one of the features of Art Glass from this period. One of these, the “Graal” technique was developed by superimposing layers of colored glass that were etched or carved with relief patterns. Another technique that became very popular, due to the fact that it allowed for the mass production of Art Deco Glass, was pate-de-verre. Hot metal molds were also used for the mass production of Art Deco glass. This technique was utilised in every form of the art, from glass jewellery to architecture.

Art Deco glass was used in many ways, most notably lighting, perfume bottles, table glass and windows. While majority of the demand for the glass was in the vast U.S. market, most of it was produced in Europe. Steuben Glassworks founded by Edward Carder, which became the Art Glass division of Corning Glassworks, Daum Company in Nancy, France and the Orrefors Factory in Sweden were producers meeting this demand. Rounding out the mix were Cristalleries de Baccarat, Louis Vuitton, Lalique and Tiffany & Co. as well as a number of other smaller factories, many of which were located in France.
In Art Deco glass, rarity is not inherent to collectibility. For instance, René Lalique’s work has an avid following among collectors because of its availability, variety and high standards in design. The key factor in collecting Deco glass is if it is in perfect condition with no flaws.
