Topic: Can anyone recognize this as a Daum piece? Urgent! ID = Antoine Leperlier

[wiggy131]

Hi
    Bought this vase from an Antiques centre. It was described as Daum Nauncy signed. When I got it home, it isn't signed on the base, just has an impressed mark of AD. Does anyone recognize this as being a different maker, or someone who designed for Daum?
Hoping to sell this at an antiques fair this weekend, but now worried it isn't Daum!
Thanks for all your help on this!!

Sorry I can't help with your dilemma but I just wanted to say it is a fabulous piece of glass!  I love it.

It looks like really good quality pate-de-verre, I can't find any Daum marks that look like this in Ivo's book - but perhaps pate-de-verre bits had a different marking system???

Whatever, somebody here should know what it is, I'd imagine.

I'd love to hear what Ivo has to say about it.

Yes I saw it and decided not to comment. Fine piece of Pâte-de-verre, at a glance I'd say late twenties or early thirties, and the mark is unknown - it could be the foundry/ mould maker too. There is nothing like it in the Bacri book, and as far as I know Daum were never shy in putting up their own name on in bold lettering, so it may be from an independent artist.

Have found the name Albert Dammouse as maker in this technique :huh:

Sorry for pushing you, Ivo. 
I don't know much about this sort of period of glass - can't afford anything nice, but I did sort of think, given the complexity of quality pate-de-verre, that it might not be too hard to pin down a maker as there can't have been too many.

I was jumping to conclusions.

not the same mark I'm afraid...

A really great piece of glass! Not my normal thing but the quality is very impressive. I recommend the Legras pate de verre display at Broadfield House in Stourbridge  if it is still running. Just to add re. this piece and the mark. It looks to me as though the monogram type stamp has a third letter, perhaps an "L" between the "A" and the "D," certainly a three letter stamp may be worth looking at.... A wonderful thing anyway...

Dammouse had the middle name Louis? maybe a later or earlier signature to the one Ivo posted?

 :t: Had a quick look into Carolus Hartmann Glasmarkenlexikon:
nothing found like this mark of your beauty, I'm afraid.

But Hartmann confirms both Ivo and Keith:

Albert Louis Dammouse *1848 Paris  +1926 Sèvres

The signature found by Ivo is Dammouse Sèvres and is Hartmann's # 2221
