The following information about Pierre d' Avesn has been obtained from the Art Deco Ceramic Glass Light web site and I quote.

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.
And during the 10 year period that he worked at Lalique he designed the "Serpent" vase and the "Tourbillons" vase pictured below.
​These vases are much sort after by collectors and  command a high price.

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
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.

Dear collector,
As far as I know is the large blue looking vase nearly on top on the left NOT made by Pierre d'Avesn and I never saw it signed at all. I have it in my collection in opaline, and it excists in black and marbled but all UNsigened.. Some dealers believe anad pretend its Etling others say Belgium maker....Is yours SIGNED? d'Avesn...that would be news for me. Kind regrads, Robert Amsterdam
