*Molten glass :
treatment of glass known from Antiquity (Pliny), rediscovered by H. Cros around 1880, who was looking for a fusible material that could be worked in a pasty or liquid state. It is a colored crystal, previously reduced to powder and mixed with water, added to a binder to compose a paste; this after cooking becomes hard and translucent to be then modeled like a sculpture and colored. The real glass paste is removed by cold amalgamating glasses and crushed enamels. The dough is then molded and subjected to baking in a lost wax mold; under the effect of heat the constituent elements agglomerate. (Larousse dictionary of antiques and second-hand goods).
* Émile Gallé
(1846-1904) is a French industrialist, master glassmaker, cabinetmaker and ceramist. He was the founder and first president of the École de Nancy in 1901. A child of art and commerce, he was one of the most prominent figures in the applied arts of his time and one of the pioneers of Art Nouveau.
