Legras-montjoye Art Deco Biscuit Bucket In Enamelled And Painted Orange And Yellow Glass

Legras-Montjoye Art Deco enameled & painted orange & yellow glass cookie bucket

Creation of the glass factories of Legras-Montjoye during the Art Deco period (1920-1939) in France, this charming bucket with its handle was used to contain biscuits and small cakes to take them for a picnic, or to protect them from damage in the kitchen.

Highly decorative, these cookie buckets are true objects of popular art and were appreciated for their decorative aspect: its highly artisanal and colorful appearance distinguishes well within an interior decoration.

Its design is typical of the Art Deco period: symmetrical geometric shapes mixing circular and rectangular shapes. Linearity replaces the organic of Art Nouveau, but retains its inspiration from nature with patterns of leaves, flowers, and branches. Its orange colors are reminiscent of autumn.

A true collector’s item today, this cookie bucket bears witness to the know-how of French artisans from the 'Roaring Twenties' which were the last years of the Legras-Montjoye factory before its definitive closure. Created in 1837 by François-Désiré Legras, (father of Auguste Legras), it will close permanently in 1939.

The successive economic and political crises of this period having caused their survival, the objects of this factory are today prized collector’s items!
