 P D' AVESN  FRANCE  is visible on the rim of the lamp shade.

​Pierre D'Avesn  1901-1990 
It is said that from the young age of 14 he worked for Ren'e Lalique  a famous French Art Glass designer.
He left Lalique in 1926 to start up his own design studio.
His designes were  produced by Cristallerie de Saint-Rémy.
In 1930 Daum Freres approached Pierre d'Avesn to take over the artistic direction of their molded glass department, at the
glass-works in Croismare.
This affiliation lasted up until the strike of 1936.
From 1937 to 1940 he took over the management of Verly's.

​While working for Daum & Verlys, Pierre D’avesn’s personal designs were allows to bear his signature unlike when he was working at Lalique.

From 1940, he returned to working on his own.
​His designs were then produced by Cristallerie de Choisy-le-Roi- (Sèvres).
 
Piere D' Avesn is up there standing shoulder to shoulder with  other famous French Art Glass designers.
