Thank you for your response!

Yes, I have the book Les Opalines, by Christine Vincendeau.
There are 3 examples of these kind of baskets and handles, with one close to mine.
I haven't had the time to translate yet.

I already knew about the one from MADParis.
But I have found a couple of others as well, over the years:

Many of them have been designed by a well-known enameller "Jean-Baptiste Desvignes", who worked for Sèvres, Baccarat, Bercy and others.

flying free:
I don't know if the pieces were designed by him?  I think the enamelling was done by him/the company.  But the bowls were made at Bercy I believe.

Google translate is your friend when it comes to the books.  It really does help to painstakingly type out the passages with the information. 
I find the research part the most interesting bit of owning my glass.  Translating is hard but opens up so much information and is so enlightening.

It's a gorgeous find.  You are very lucky which I'm sure you already know  ;)

Yes, you're right.

The pieces were designed and made by these companies. Bercy, in this case.
And then some of them were transferred to Desvignes, for him (or at least his atelier) to decorate.

And yes, I think I should face criminal charges, because I only paid € 100 for it.  :o
