Vase in blown glass Maure Vieil

Superb blown glass piece from the old maure vieil glassworks. The production of the "verriers de maure-vieil" focused mainly on glass paste and work with stratified mineral textures, as close as possible to its direct environment. The intriguing history of the glassworks fully contributes to the charm of the pieces that come from it. Located on a natural cirque surrounded by wild nature, in the middle of the caldera (south of france), maure vieil is made up of: • a chapel with modernist and extroverted architecture • but also a new age fitness center. • to which is added the maure-vieil glassworks. The verrerie de maure vieux was built in the 60s. It closed its doors in the 90s, leaving a building disused since that day. The empty pocket vase is quite rare and in very good condition, no cracks or chips. Produced in the 60s/70s, this piece is composed of light beige, caramel and orange colors. Purplish marbling punctuates the pattern. Fine golden metallic inclusions are also present in the glass leg. A little different from the typical mineral work of glassware, the light and subtle texture of the piece recalls the diffuse veiling of inks that would mix in water. The maure vieil stamp (intertwined m and v) is sealed under the glassware. Craftsmanship, high quality. Superb decorative piece or collection I have a collection of 7 pieces from the maure vieille workshops. These pieces are visible in my other ads dimensions: height 12cm opening diameter 20.5cm hand delivery or shipping with careful packaging.
