Scailmont vase (split from Re: CALENDAR: Last few images needed!)

<< < (2/5) > >>

Pip:
You're right Pamela - they're both by Scailmont designed by Charles Catteaux, although David's correct, there are very subtle differences between ours (sorry to hijack your calendar thread David!).  Here's the pressed signature on mine which says 'Ch.Catteaux'.

(erm... I seem to have lost the insert photo box  :huh: I'll put the image on photobucket and get back...)

Anne:
I've pulled the Scailmont posts out as I think these need to be moved over to Glass rather than left buried in the Calendar topic. :)

pamela:
Thank you Anne!
Pip, beautiful mark and photo of it, thank you!
We shall investigate further then  8)
Unfortunately neither Catteaux nor Catteau on Wikipedia or Google, just some Belgian petrol suppliers... could they know more of grandfather or so?

Pip:
Charles Catteau didn't produce much glass, he's far better known for his ceramics for Boch Keramis.

Anne:
Pamela, I found these links which will give you a bit more info about the man and his work:
http://www.charles-catteau.be/
http://www.kbs-frb.be/catteau/
http://www.kbs-frb.be/catteau/engels/Qui_est_Charles_Catteau.htm
http://www.ceramique1900.com/catteau.html
As Pip says, it's mainly about his work in ceramics though, but has some background info on him that may help find out more about his glass designs.

Incidentally, I found another example of the vase in a yellowy-green here: http://pages.brendaginsberg.com/5100/PictPage/3923167280.html
and a different design bowl here:

And I just found a really interesting page which talks a bit about his glass work here:
