creations such as the Fire Dance. Her radical
style and beauty attracted the attention of
many of the most celebrated artists of the day,
such as Henri-de Toulouse Lautrec, Auguste
Rodin, and of course Francois Raoul-Larche.
She became the embodiment of the Art
Nouveau movement and is symbolized in
many important images of early 20th century
Paris. Larche had his sculptural training under
Jouffroy and Falguire at the cole des Beaux
Arts. Although his life and career were brief,
his work was highly regarded, at the 1900
Paris Exposition Universelle he was awarded
the gold medal for sculpture.

at the time, which had a natural iridescence
due to soil contact. It is produced by exposure
of the glass in a semi-molten state to fumes
of chloride of tin, alone or mixed with the
nitrates of barium and strontium. The following
commentary by Her Majesty, Queen Victoria,
with specific reference to Tho. Webb and
Sons Bronze Glass: On a recent visit to Mr
Goodes attractive galleries at Audley Street,
we noticed a fine selection of the new Bronze
Glass, discovered and made by Messrs.
Thomas Webb and Sons, of Stourbridge. Its
purple bronze surface shines with the hues of
the rainbow, such as they appear on molten
lead, or on pieces of steel which have been
tempered in gradually diminishing degrees
of heat. It has already attracted considerable
attention at the Paris Exhibition. See pp.

Rare Jules Habert-Dys (French, 1850-1924)
Vase
Art glass
France, c. 1907
Vasiform transparent glass with metallic oxide
overlay with cut and etched surface of stylized
thistle design signed by the artist at base, ht.
14 1/4 in.
Note: Examples of work by Habert-Dys can
be found in the collections of the Muse des
Arts Dcoratifs and Muse dOrsay, Paris, and
the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis.
Jules Auguste Habert was born into a
poor family but his early talent for drawing
was recognized and he was apprenticed
to draw. From there he progressed to the
field of ceramics. His exceptional skill as
a draughtsman led to him exhibiting two
earthenware panels at the Paris Salon des
Artistes Franais in 1876. His skills were
broadened by a period at the Haviland
workshop. His medium changed and his
audience grew between 1881 and 1887 when
he executed 500 drawings for the magazine
LArt. It was at this time that he began to sign
his work Habert-Dys (Dys having been his
mothers maiden name). In 1907, HabertDys was appointed Professor of Drawing at
the cole Nationale des Arts Dcoratifs, and
he began experiments in glass making. His
work in glass and lacquer continued until
the outbreak of the first World War when his
wifes failing health and financial difficulties
curtailed his practical work. Although working
in the design world for more than forty years,
examples of Habert-Dyss own creations are
scarce and rarely appear on the international
market. For further biographical details see,

(London, 1977), pp. 104-106.

Art pottery
France or United States, mid-20th century
Cylindrical vessel with light creamy sand glaze
with speckles of brown and touch of green on

logo on base, ht. 7 in.
Note: Friedlander was a French-born ceramic
artist, author, and teacher, and one of the first
students to enter the Bauhaus in Weimar,
Germany, apprenticing under master potter
Max Krehan and sculptor Gerhard Marcks.
Later, she became the head of ceramics at the
Burg Giebichenstein in Halle, Germany, where
she made prototypes for mass-produced
dinnerware for the Royal Berlin porcelain
manufacturers (called KPM). When the Nazis
came to power in 1933, she was forced to
resign because of her Jewish ancestry. With
her husband Franz Wildenhain (1905-1980,
a former Bauhaus classmate, whom she
married in 1929), she moved to Holland, then
emigrated to the U.S. In California she settled
at Pond Farm, an artists colony about 75
miles north of San Francisco, near Guerneville.
For nearly three decades, as her artistic
stature grew, she ran her own summer school,
taking in twenty or more students each year.
Following Wildenhains death, the Pond Farm
grounds and buildings were preserved, and
are now part of the California State Parks
system.

handkerchief and favor forms we try to freeze
some of the molten quality of the glass. The
artists sense of play becomes more evident
as the bags refer less to their inanimate

The Estate of
Mary Griggs
Burke
Lots 396-447

The Mary Griggs Burke Estate includes the furnishings of the Burke house, on Centre Island in
Oyster Bay, New York, overlooking Long Island Sound. Designed and furnished by Boston architect
Ben Thompson, the home was featured in the book Design Research: The Store That Brought
Modern Living To American Homes. In 1956, the magazine Architectural Record reviewed the home
for its architecture and elaborate Japanese-style garden.
Mary Griggs Burke was best known for her passionate collecting of Japanese ceramics. To house
her collection and find furnishings of good design, she turned to Thompson, who was well known
in architectural circles as the founder of The Architects Collaborative (TAC). Over a two-year period
(1952-54), Thompson constructed a modern home for Burke that took advantage of the views
of Long Island Sound and included carefully chosen and placed furnishings provided by Design
Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded by Ben Thompson, the store became the place to
go for modern design during the middle of the century. In his work on the Burke house, Thompson
combined his own designs with the Danish modern aesthetic that was so popular at Design
Research. This catalog offers a glimpse of the interiors in situ through the photography of Andr
Kertsz.
Today, the beautiful and mature home has stood the test of time. Skinner is pleased to offer early
Design Research furnishings from the Burke house at auction.
