The cristallerie in Verdun was set-up in 1930, by Maurice Model, in an old flooring factory. Glass was produced for export only and mostly to USA. The factory was destroyed by bombs on 15th June 1940. A school was built on it's site and the directrice of the school is now researching. I shall point her to the thread.

Frank, you're a star - thank you for the link!

Here's a poor shot with my mobile of 'M Model Verdun' mark - difficult taking this from a lamp at the ceiling   ;D

The other two images of this lamp were made years ago and never shown online  :-X

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)
