Pâte-De-Cristal Vase By François-Emile Décorchement
About the Item
This shimmering vase was hand-crafted by the renowned French glassmaker, François-Emile Décorchemont. Celebrated for his mastery of the pâte-de-verre method, Décorchemont also perfected the similarly delicate pâte-de-cristal method seen here, wherein finely ground crystal is molded into soft shapes and rich textures. The warm, earthy color palette of this vase shines with a bold mixture of gold, amber and crimson, further enhanced by the geometric pattern that envelops the vase's form.
Born in Conches-en-Ouche, Normandy in 1880, Décorchemont studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Henri Bergé. Inspired by ancient glasswork, he revived the intricate process of pâte-de-verre, where finely crushed glass is mixed with a binding agent to create molds, resulting in luminous, ethereal pieces. Décorchemont's work captivated collectors worldwide, earning him prestigious accolades such as the Legion of Honor. Today his work can be seen in important museum collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and his timeless creations endure as symbols of technical brilliance and artistic innovation.

François-Emile Décorchemont French, 1880-1997 François Décorchemont, originally an accomplished painter and potter of recognized ability, turned to the making of glass in 1904. Pâté de verre was the medium in which he excelled and for which he is best known. After studying decorative art in Paris, François Décorchemont returned to his native Conches in 1910 to develop new techniques in stained glass, particularly in the use of crystal to give multicolored and faceted panes. After 1909, while continuing to produce fine glass paste pieces, Francois Decorchemont began to experiment with a new casting technique. François Decorchemont, Emile's son and also an artist, helped out in his father’s studio, in particular helping him to research the possibilities of creating jeweled adornments in pates d'email (enamel pastes) for Gerome's polychrome sculptural creations. Francois Décorchemont, a potter and painter at the outset of his career, became fascinated with the IDEA of developing and utilizing a thin translucent glass material in his work. It was in essence the revival and an adaptation of a long forgotten Egyptian glass-making process using colored crystal powdered glass, metallic oxides and an adhesive paste. This "new" material, known as pâte de verre was developed around the turn of the century, principally at the Sevres porcelain factory, by a number of artists working there, notably Henri Cros and Albert Dammouse. The end of the 19th century was an illuminated period in the history of art. Impressionist painting appeared and created an interest in glass as material. Traditional sculpting materials such as bronze and marble made way for glass with its possibilities of light and color. Henry Cros and François Décorchemont became the leaders of French pâte de verre and facilitated the proliferation of this colorful glass. His first major work, in 1934, was inn the Eglise Sainte-Odile near Porte Champerret in Paris, some 300 square meters of brilliant colors. After the war, he devoted his work to churches in the Eure, including of course Beuzeville where, thanks to the generosity of the local council, the church is lit at night so that his work can be admired from outside. During the first half of the 20th century a number of French artists became famous for their work in pâte de verre, and Francois Decorchemont among them.
