  Decorchement, Francois Emile. (1880-1970) He set up a glass house in Conches in 1902 producing exquisite pate-de-verre, statuettes, bowls and vases. He extended this range to encompass a rougher hewn surface with motifs of flowers and sometimes insects. His designs became increasingly abstract during the 1930s toward the outbreak of the Second World War; these were often executed in pate-de-cristal. Later the production continued although in a more restrained manner with softer semi-opaque and translucent colors.
