Georges de Feure (1868–1943), a multifaceted Art Nouveau artist
was not a trained master glassmaker. Born in Paris to a Dutch architect father and a Belgian mother, he began his career as a Symbolist painter and renowned poster artist of Parisian Bohemia. A true dandy, he became one of the star designers at Siegfried Bing’s avant-garde gallery L’Art Nouveau in Paris as early as 1895. There, he designed absolutely everything: furniture, rugs, stained-glass windows, porcelain, and decorative objects. His philosophy was that of total art: to beautify even the most mundane everyday objects. It was during the 1910s and 1920s that Georges de Feure designed this pitcher model.
