Topic: Is it a Pierre d'Avesn vase?

[giulissa]

Best regards to everybody.
This vase seems "nenuphars " of Pierre d’Avesne (1926 ?)  I have seen this vase in many frosted colors but no one in clear glass . No marks but I know that many items are unsigned.
What do you think about: it is a copy or a fake or an inferior quality?
Thanks for your opinion.

Hello
I am a grea tcollector of D'avesn and I have a lot of pieces by him
The man that made Lalique
 this is a pretty piece but in my opinion this is not one of his works

Hello Giulissa,

I have the same vase, also in pink but with a satin finish and I asked myself the same question.
Via a friend I got in touch with a gentleman who's writing a book at the moment on Pierre d'Avesn, and he said it was definitely his design 'Nénuphars' but due to lack of signature, probably edited by Choisy-le-Roi.

Ah so there you go Giulissa, one say yes and one says no... you're not any wiser with this I guess

Hello
to be honest my eyes are dim and I can't see the detail too well
but it doesn't look like the same design to me

So would I !!! I contacted this person in France about three years ago, but never stayed in touch ... I'll see if I still have his address.

Maybe it's better to see the design with a satin finish...

Hi
just had a more careful look and it certainly does look like a Nénuphars vase
I need to go to specsavers (I really do, long over due )
I did post a while back a picture of my collection as it was then, it has grown since in you show me yours I'll show you mine section
best regards Alan

thank heavens for reading glasses
