Vidrio Isart - JOSÉ ISART - Gordiola interest
« on: October 25, 2014, 10:42:07 PM »
I have found a catalogue here that has a front page stating
VIDRIERA CATALANA 
Vidrio Isart
JOSÉ ISART
There is what looks like a woodcut picture on the front of a glassblower in the chair with assistant.

This sale/listing shows a number of pages of the catalogue.  The glass does look to me as though it might be from Gordiola - at least it is very similar 'old' style frilly glass.

Vidriera appears to mean 'showcase' or 'shopwindow'.
Is this additional proof that Jose Isart (the retailer?) was the seller of Gordiola Glass?

And this piece has an Isart label on it and is enamelled in the style of Cirera (but no mention of a signature) and is a piece that looks like the frilly Gordiola glass vases.  Unfortunately that catalogue listing only shows 6 pages of the glass so not possible to definitely match this piece.  (or my bowl for that matter).

I am wondering if the labels date to different periods because of the way the I in Isart is done on the label.
On another thread Penelope has a porron shape enamelled piece enamelled in this style and signed Cirera.  Her piece has two labels on.  On one the I in Isart actually looks like a Y.  On the other it looks like an I. I'm wondering if the piece was in stock and when the newer labels were printed the red one got stuck on maybe.  Which might explain the difference in the typography of the I if you see what I mean.

I'm not sure how this links the three enterprises (Gordiola, Vidrio Isart and Cirera together but somehow I think it might do for the future).
