THIS OBJECT WAS SOLD
19th Century Wig Stand, Bouzillé Glass On Pedestal
Sorry, but I can't remain silent... some dealers are mistaken, auction houses are mistaken... They call this object: sulfide.
What a mistake I hasten to correct: a sulfide refers to the sulfurous appearance taken on by a porcelain object included in the parison (the molten glass);
Upon contact, the glass cools abruptly and forms this mercury crystallization called sulfur.
On the other hand, all the paperweights, hopscotch, and other wig holders made by glass artisans in the past bear the name "bouzillé glass."
Grantful, the glassworks owners allowed the workers to collect the glass waste from the floor before the furnaces closed. The artisans then fashioned various objects that they sold for the company's social works on Sundays after mass.
This one on a baluster pedestal is in perfect condition and measures 15 x 8.35 in diameter. You learned something, so much the better.
