French Art Deco Verlys Opalescent bottle coaster - Carp - Poissons - French antique wine hotsell bottle stand
Beautiful signed Verlys French Art Deco opalescent glass bottle coaster or bottle.
Beautiful signed Verlys French Art Deco opalescent glass bottle coaster or bottle stand, c1930.
Verlys, France was one of the great French glassmakers of the 20th century.
In thick opalescent glass with good ice-and-fire colour, it is exquisitely moulded with a coy carp pattern. The fish tails form the feet and the flat side is polished to a mirror finish.
Please note, it does not have a ridge around the edge, but holds the bottle as it should.
It is signed 'Verlys France' in the design.
The coaster dates from the elegant 1930s, when no French table was complete without a wine bottle coaster (dessous de bouteille) - and ideally two, for red and white wine.
Diameter - just under 5 inches ( 12.5cm)
In superb condition with signs of careful use. No chips or cracks, nibbles.
I pack with care. See my feedback : )

Please bear in that most items in my shop are at least 30 years old. While I'm careful to describe anything hotsell significant, gentle signs of use and age are normal - and part of the charm of vintage.
