France, c. 1930 Modeled with roses Molded mark Etling 210 France 30 cm diameter *Edmond Laurent Etling founded La Societe Anonyme Edmond Etling in 1909 in Paris. The works which he commissioned (not only glass, but ceramics, ivori and bronze) were sold from his shop in Paris at 29 Rue de Paradis. Glassware was made at the Etling Choisy-le-Roi glassworks. Apart from clear grey and frosted glass, much of Etling’s glassware was made of opalescent glass.Etling used designs from the top freelance designers of the period, including Alliott, Alonzo, Chiparus, Descompe, Godard and Guillard. Some Etling designs were reproduced by Sevres in the 1970s, in particular the female nude figurines. The designs have the characteristic flowing, clean lines and smooth shapes of the Art Deco movement, and the use of opalescent glass maximized the effect of electric light on pieces, giving a soft, cool glow, rather than a harsh glitter as would be the case with clear glass. Reflecting the popular decor of the 1920s and 1930s Etling pieces are most frequently white/off-white, or monochrome.
