About the Item

Verlys France designed this stunning Art Deco ensemble of two wine bottle coasters. The pieces were crafted circa 1930. The rare barware accessories boast a stunning opalescent blueish textured pattern with a gorgeous molded decor on the underside. The decor features sizeable exotic fish, a design very popular at the end of the Art Nouveau period. Produced by Les Verreries d'Art Verlys & des Hanots—S.A. Holophane, Paris, these rounded coasters bear the molded signature of Verlys France blended in the decor. Measurements: 4.94 in diameter (12.5 cm) by 0.82 in high (2 cm). Note: In 1920, the Société Holophane Française was set up as a subsidiary of the Holophane Company, USA, in a glassworks near Rouen in northern France, to make vehicle headlights. By 1925, they had expanded into making art glass vases and bowls and established a department for these products, which they named Verlys. Initially, they made blown vessels with several layers of glass, smooth on the outside and intricately decorated internally. From 1933 onwards, they focused on high-quality press-molded glass. They produced clear, frosted, iridescent, and colored items with designs typical of Lalique-style glass of the 1930s, using plants, flowers, birds, fish, and abstract geometrical patterns. Each year, they produced a catalog with new designs. Typically, their products bear a molded signature that reads "Verlys France" or "Verlys Made in France." In 1935, "Verlys of America" opened glassworks in Newark, Ohio. The Ohio Works created certain items using molds from France. Both French and American factories crafted these items, but the French factories withheld some exclusive designs from the American factories. Production in France and the USA declined during the war as the company focused increasingly on industrial products. The Verlys range was progressively abandoned in both countries from 1940 until it ceased altogether, in the States in 1951-52 and France in the early 1960s. In 1955, the Heisey Glassworks leased some Verlys molds to produce a limited range of Verlys designs until 1957 and then returned the molds. These pieces were not signed. In 1966, Fenton Art Glass Company purchased the remaining Verlys molds. They created items in colors noticeably different from Verlys' and did not use the Verlys name.
