Description
An American opalescent glass clock, 1930s, moulded with birds amidst blossom, with internal electric illumination (115 volt), with a Whitehall-Hammond Synchronous Movement, on a gilt metal base, 26cm high Possibly by The Consolidated Glass Company. Ruben Haley s designs were influenced greatly by the 1925 Exposition in Paris. One glass designer emerged overwhelmingly as the best at this exposition: Rene Lalique. Reuben brought back Lalique's ideas and actually copied some of his patterns. In 1926 Consolidated introduced their Martele range. This line had raised moulded designs of birds, flowers, insects, fruit and people. This is a version of Lalique's Deux Colombes design with the addition of the base. The original moulds were passed to other glass companies (Phoenix and Fenton) when Consolidated closed its doors.
