La Pierre Manufacturing Company
American
La Pierre Manufacturing Company, active in the early 20th century, was renowned for its exquisite Art Nouveau glass objects adorned with sterling silver overlays. Operating primarily in New York and Newark, New Jersey, La Pierre collaborated with esteemed glassmakers, notably Loetz of Austria, to produce vases, decanters, and perfume bottles that exemplified the organic forms and intricate detailing characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement. These pieces often featured motifs such as blooming tulips, grapevines, and whiplash tendrils, rendered in repoussé silverwork. The silver overlays were typically stamped with the "La Pierre" mark, ensuring authenticity. Today, La Pierre's creations are celebrated for their craftsmanship and are sought after by collectors of American Art Nouveau glass.
