Product description
An elegant Art Deco cheese or butter cloche by Verreries de Scailmont, dating to the 1930s. Crafted in finely detailed pressed glass, the piece features a richly textured geometric pattern that beautifully captures and reflects the light, characteristic of the refined decorative glass production of the period.
The dome is completed with its original sculptural finial, while the matching underplate displays complementary fan and diamond motifs, creating a striking and harmonious ensemble. Both the cloche and the plate bear the original moulded manufacturer’s mark, confirming their authenticity.
This model is documented in the reference book Les Verreries de Scailmont à l’époque Art déco, further supporting its provenance and historical significance.
The set remains in very good condition for its age, with only minimal signs of wear consistent with vintage pressed glass. A superb and increasingly rare example of Belgian Art Deco tableware, ideal for serving cheese or butter while also making an elegant decorative display piece.
Scailmont glass ( Verreries de Scailmont) in Belgium, is renowned for its exquisite Art Deco and Art Nouveau designs. Founded by Henri-Raphaël Hirsch, (who had established the “Saint-Laurent Glassworks” a few years earlier) in 1901 in Manage, the factory specialized in molded and satin-finished glassware, featuring intricate etching, enameling, and sandblasting techniques. Collaborations with renowned designers such as Henri Heemskerk and Charles Catteau brought international acclaim, particularly after the 1925 Paris Exposition.
Scailmont’s products, including vases and tableware, were often marked with the factory’s name or designer signatures, making them highly collectible. The company also partnered with brands like Boch Frères and Val-Saint-Lambert
Despite industry challenges, Scailmont remained a key player in Belgium’s glass industry until it merged with Durobor in 1976 and ceased operations in 2000. Today, Scailmont glass is prized for its elegant designs and fine craftsmanship.
