Early 20th C. Andre Delatte (French 1887-1953) Cameo Glass Fluted Vase. Mottled green and yellow. Measures - 14 3/4" high x 5" diameter. Signed Delatte Nancy. André Delatte founded a small glassworks at Jarville, near Nancy France in 1921, where he produced large quantity of glass vessels. Delatte specialized in high-quality cameo glass from the beginning. The two or three layered glass vessels had their design etched with hydrofluoric acid with little or no additional wheel-carving. His floral and landscape designs are well conceived and executed, appropriately matching the shape of the vessel. The shapes themselves are well proportioned and attractive, with good strong colors, such as rich blues or orange. A Delatte specialty was to scissor-cut the stem of a vase along its length while it was still in a plastic state, and curls the sheared half-stems back towards the body to form handles.
