[QUOTE="ritzyvintage, post: 3681809, member: 18191"]A fairly recent acquisition is this stylish Art Deco wrought iron mount. I have shown it here suitably displayed with a 1930s French press moulded glass 10.5" diameter dish by [I]Costebelle[/I]. It is difficult to establish the maker of the mount itself with certainty, as numerous metal working foundries operated in France during the Art Deco period. Most of them were quick to adapt to customer interest in displaying & using all manner of glass bowls & dishes in a "new fashionable" way. Metal stands & mounts such as this example, also allowed the glass to be easily carried. It is often forgotten that most so-called "decorative" glassware was produced to be used. The forged iron work by [I]Edgar Brandt[/I] was a major influence on other factories. Much of the metal work used by [I]Muller-Frères[/I] for example was inspired by [I]Brandt[/I]... [I]Edmund Etling[/I], was also a quality producer of metal work, and had his own metal working factory which produced most of the bronze sculptures by [I]Chiparus[/I] and other important designers of the period including the metal mounts for many of his glass pattern-types. [CENTER][ATTACH=full]310745[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]310749[/ATTACH] (yes I know... My table needs some T.LC) :) [ATTACH=full]310750[/ATTACH] Please add your own examples if you have any. They will be of great interest to Me and to other like-minded souls. [/CENTER][/QUOTE]
