French Art Deco vase attributed to Henri Dieupart, in moulded pressed glass with a frosted iridescent surface. The rounded body is decorated with repeating relief panels of stylised pine cones framed by radiating linear motifs.
Henri Germain Etienne Dieupart (1888-1980) was a French sculptor and glass designer associated with the Art Deco movement. Trained under Jean-Antoine Injalbert and Paul Auban, he exhibited sculpture at the Salon des Artistes Francais, receiving an honourable mention in 1920 and a bronze medal in 1924. He also designed pressed-moulded glass vases, often with strongly sculptural floral and vegetal reliefs. Dieupart collaborated with Simonet Freres, producing Art Deco glass designs during the 1920s; examples from circa 1925-1930 are documented in museum and exhibition literature.
