Jay:
Eureka!,
I found an identical one with a signature. Just a few checks on the sig and we've all become a little wiser today.

Jay:
Identity confirmed!
Sometime after he finished Lalique but it's not quite clear whether this is Sevres (less likely) or Daum (when you'd expect a mark) or an independent piece.

Anne Tique:
Perhaps Choisy-le-Roi ... if i remember well  d'Avesn worked for them for a couple of years after WWII.  Their pressed glass items are usually not signed or just signed with 'France'.

Anne Tique:
I spotted this bowl, same décor but with a foot, I'm not sure if the signature can be taken serious though ... well actually I am sure, because I don't think d'Avesn ever signed like this and it looks a bit amateurish. In the description it says the signature's enamelled but it looks more like a red crayon or something... still, whatever it may be, I think it's a very nice and impressive piece ... one of these pieces that you can't stop looking at, that are very tactile and bring a smile to your face whenever you see them... well, that happens to me sometimes with some pieces, but I've been told on several occasions that I'm losing it a bit.  ??? :-\
