Empty Pocket in blown glass Moorish Old.

Superb blown glass empty pocket from the old maure vieil glassworks. The production of the "verriers de maure-vieil" focused mainly on glass paste and work with stratified mineral textures, as close as possible to its direct environment. The intriguing history of the glassworks fully contributes to the charm of the pieces that come from it. Located on a natural cirque surrounded by wild nature, in the middle of the caldera (south of france), maure vieil is made up of: • a chapel with modernist and extroverted architecture • but also a new age fitness center. • to which is added the maure-vieil glassworks. The verrerie de maure vieux was built in the 60s. It closed its doors in the 90s, leaving a building disused since that day. The vide poche is quite rare and in very good condition, no cracks or chips. Produced in the 60s/70s, this vide poche is mainly composed of black, with pale pink, orange marbling. The latter resembles lava stains metaphorically recalling the furnace of its creation process. This also recalls the mineral marbling specific to the work of the master glassmaker was bob le bleis. The solid glass object is solid with an extreme minimalist look. The maure vieil stamp (intertwined m and v) is sealed under the glassware. High quality craftsmanship. Superb piece I would add that I easily combine this empty pocket with a paperweight, in order to create a hybrid piece (see photo) in this ad only the empty pocket is sold, the paperweight corresponds to another ad. I also have a collection of 7 pieces from the maure vieille workshops. These parts are visible in my other ads dimensions: diameter 15cm height 6cm hand delivery or shipping with careful packaging.
