Orrefors Simon Gate Cut Glass Decanter and Glasses Art Deco Blown Glass Signed. Simon Gate Art Deco Decanter with black glass foot and stopper and cut glass wave pattern. The G denotes it is a design by Gate, the A was the code for cut and polished glass and the number 400 was in the range in use during 1932. This is a beautiful piece of Art-Deco design by one of its leading designers in glass in that era. The decanter is approximately 8 tall. Excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Light cloudiness on interior (as found condition) and wear scratches on base only. This decanter is accompanied by (8) matching glasses also with the cut glass wave pattern and black glass foot. It is rare to have matching glasses for an Art Deco Gates decanter. The glasses are signed "Orrefors" and are 5 1/2 tall. All these matching Orrefors glasses are also in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Light scratch marks on base only from use.

After training at both the College of Technology and Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm he joined Orrefors in 1916. Working with master glass-blower Knut Bergqvist, he was the originator of the Graal technique where coloured glass designs were encased in a colourless glass layer while the glass was still molten. He also produced intricate engraved patterns, designs and pictorial scenes of amazing finesse often taking themes from classical antiquity. He was a leading figure in the development of the Art-Deco style and his work came to prominence at the World Fair in Paris in 1925. The Swedish version of Art-Deco is known as Swedish Grace and is synonymous with his name.

He remained at Orrefors until his death in 1945. His finest Graal and engraved pieces are some of the greatest masterpieces of Twentieth Century glass.

His work can be found in leading museums worldwide including The British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Please message me with any inquiries. See my other listings for additional antique and vintage ceramics, glassware, and collectibles.
