Verlys opalescent glass vase

Lalique quality 1930's vase by Verlys company. Opalescent glass. Signed. 18.5cm diameter. 23cm high. (7.3" diameter 9" high). Extremely hard to find. A crack inside the glass as you can see on the last picture. The crack is visible with particular light angle from inside the vase. Not visible from outside. Of course glass is still strong at this place. Nice opportunity to get this one even with the crack as it is impossible to get a good one a this time. (I have never seen this vase in any auction or market place).

In 1920, the Societe Holophane Français was set up as a subsidiary of the USA Holophane Company in a glassworks near Rouen in Northern France to make vehicle headlights. By 1925, they had expanded into making art glass vases and bowls.  They created a separate department for these products, and named it "Verlys".  Initially the pieces were blown vessels with several layers of glass, smooth on the outside with internal decoration.From 1933 onward, Verlys focused on high quality press-mould glass.  They produced clear, frosted, opalescent and colored items with designs typical of Lalique-style glass of the 1930s.
