About Artist :
Originally from Baccarat France the Durands worked with the renowned " Cristellaries de Baccarat before migrating to US in 1800'S. They worked with the Quiozel Art Glass in the 1920's and then later formed their own Company when Quioizel closed.
Their skills are seen at a number of glass factories in the United States prior to opening Vineland Flint Glass Works.
Victor Durand, Jr. eventually bought his father’s share of the business, and the company thrived during the early 1900s as his business holdings grew. In fact, Vineland was considered to be one of the most successful companies in the country at that time. As a result, the founders’ dream of producing art glass was set into motion.
Surely one sees their French influence and fine technique of fine glass from their experience and influences from Tiffany, Steuben and Baccarat from every piece and
although not signed (Durand's art glass often times unsigned) one will
truly
know a Durand piece.
A great collectible,
functional fit for a museum
