Gallery label	(18/06/2009) Bottle and stopper , acid-etched and enamelled France (Bar-sur-Seine), about 1925 designed and made by Maurice Marinot, at Viard Frères glassworks Gift of Mlle Florence Marinot in memory of Maurice Marinot (C.2 &A-1964) Maurice Marinot (1882-1960) trained as a painter and was a member of the revolutionary artists group 'Les Fauves' ('the wild beasts'). He took up designing for glass following a visit to the Viard Frères glassworks in Bar-sur-Seine following a visit there in 1911. At first he designed the forms to be made by the glassworks' own craftsmen and decorated them in enamel colours. The first of these was exhibited in 1912 at the Salon d'Automne. Progressing to making his own glass, by the early 1920s he had abandoned enamelling and was, instead, manipulating the glass in its hot molten state and also using deep cutting, acid-engraving and internal bubbling and colouring in an entirely innovative manner. By becoming both maker and designer and therefore combining artistic vision with practical skill, Marinot is now regarded as a forerunner of modern 'studio glass'. .
