The Noverdy glassworks, founded in the 1920s in Dijon, embodies the excellence of French art glass from the Art Deco period. Noverdy developed a unique style, influenced by the great manufacturers of his time such as Daum, Muller Frères or André Delatte, while asserting his own signature, at the crossroads of stylized plants and architectural modernism. Based in Dijon, the Nouvelle Verrerie de Dijon (its original name) distinguished itself by its production of light fixtures, vases and basins in molded-pressed glass, with finely acid-etched or powdered enamel decorations. Its creations, often signed "Noverdy" or "Noverdy France", are characterized by a subtle play of transparency, frosted textures and delicate colors (smoky, amber, opalescent, etc.). Awarded at the 1929 exhibition for the quality of its work, the Noverdy glassworks remains today a name sought after by collectors and lovers of decorative arts, prized for the rare balance between artisanal technicality and the poetry of glass.
