Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Sourced from the studio of Georges Despret in Jeumont, France, this sextet of glass figurines was crafted in the first decade of the 20th century using the pâte de verre technique, in which glass is ground to a powder, mixed with a binding agent to form a paste, then cast and fired in a mold. The inspiration was the discovery some 30 years prior of a trove of similarly styled terra cotta figurines at an archaeological dig in Tanagra, Greece dating from the 4th century B.C., hence the Hellenistic appearance of these copies. As seen in the "35 Centuries of Glass" gallery during an April 2022 visit to the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York.
