Early 20th Century Louis-antoine Damon (1860-1947) Enamelled and Gilded Glass Bowl

1900 - 1920
Description

This is an early 20th century French gilded and enamelled glass bowl by Louis-Antoine Damon (1860-1947). Louis-Antoine was a prominent French glass decorator, designer, and boutique owner operating out of the Boulevard Malesherbes in Paris. He used blanks produced by Daum, Nancy and other glassmakers before decorating them with natural motifs and selling them on. He eventually worked with his brother-in-law, operating as Damon & Delente. His works are highly regarded in France and internationally.

The bowl is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with age and use.

The bowl measures 21.2 cm (8.4 inches) in diameter at the everted upper rim. The bowl has been mould-blown in clear glass with panel moulding and then hand-decorated with enamelled pink roses, green leaves and blue bows. There is also the remains of a gilded band just above the base. The bowl ends in star-moulded plain base which measures 16 cm (6.4 inches) in diameter and which displays the legend "Damon, 20 Bd Malesherbes Paris" in lower case gilt script. The bowl is 6.8 cm (2.7 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious signs of restoration. It does NOT come in its original box.

The bowl weighs in at 745 g. ( ~ 1 lb. 10 oz.). It is matched with four finger bowls which we also have for sale.

Date of Manufacture

The World is Made of Glass Ltd. has dated this French Enamelled Glass Bowl to the 1920s.

FAQs

Early 20th-century French enamelled art glass incorporates vitreous enamels painted and fired onto glass surfaces, often featuring delicate botanical and classical motifs popular during the Art Nouveau period.

Glassmakers blew or moulded clear glass before applying powdered vitreous enamels mixed with oils, which were subsequently fired in a kiln to permanently fuse the decoration to the glass body.

Authentic pieces display hand-applied, slightly raised enamel details, smooth pontil marks or finished bases, and subtle wear to any gilded rims consistent with genuine age.

Position the bowl as a central accent on a sideboard or console table, allowing natural light to highlight the translucent glass and detailed surface enamel work.

Hand wash gently using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding abrasive sponges, chemical solvents, or prolonged soaking to prevent degradation of the gilding and surface paint.
