Verlys Fruit Bowl

VERLYS (1925-1946) a French brand of the Holophane company (verrerie des Andelys - Hanots, France). It is an art glassware for the table and decorative objects. The creation of the VERLYS brand comes from the contraction of VERrerie des AndeLYS). This artistic production was composed of several hundred different pieces. The various catalogs that we know testify to the quality and diversity of the pieces manufactured: vases, cups, animal subjects, religious ... The Verlys brand found its letters of nobility in large exhibitions alongside glassware from Lalique - Etling - Sabino ... and quickly attracted great glassmakers. The signature of these pieces was engraved either in the pocket or on the core of the mold. The same piece could have different colors, nevertheless referenced in a catalog. This artistic production was unfortunately not very profitable for the Holophane company. Verlys production was therefore abandoned around 1946 in favor of this production of headlight glass.
