About the Item
This French "Crabe," or "Crab," pâte de verre vide-poche glass dish by Amalric Walter and Henri Bergé, is an elongated green and blueish dish, with murky, swirling hues, mimicking the appearance of a small eddy of a brook, frozen in time and space by the artist. Presiding over this small aquatic universe is a deep, reddish-brown crab with highlights of bright yellow adorning his gnarled back. So intricate and so accurately knobbly are the crabs outstretched limbs that he seems to meld into the beautiful tangle of similarly colored, trailing strands of kelp that emanate in every direction from his formidable perch.

Macklowe Gallery's Curator's Notes:
Pâte de verre material was produced by grinding glass into a fine powder, adding a binder to create a paste, and adding a fluxing medium to facilitate melting. The paste is brushed or tamped into a mold, dried, and fused by firing, meaning this is not only one of the most technically difficult manners in which to create glass objects.

Manufactory: Amalric Walter & Henri Bergé, Nancy, Lorraine, France
Dating of manufacture: circa 1920/1930
Designer:
Victor Amalric Walter (1870-1959) was a French glass manufacturer mainly known for his pâte de verre pieces. In the Cristalleries Daum at Nancy, France, he met the designer and modelist HENRI BERGÉ, with whom he produced the first pâtes de verre, which at the time were only signed with "Daum Nancy". After the war he continued to work with Henri Bergé. From 1919 to 1935 he cast no fewer than 500 models with Bergé and other famous sculptors or designers, always in few numbers due to the sophisticated technique of glass kiln casting.
