Muller |
The Muller brothers worked for Galle before they established their glassworks at Luneville. Custom glass production was later continued at Croismare, only a short distance from Luneville. The central office remained at Luneville. Most of the art glass produced at Luneville was signed «Muller Fres Luneville», although it was sometimes signed «Muller Freres Luneville», «Muller», or «Luneville». At Croismare, glass was signed in the following ways: «Muller Croismare»; «Muller»; «Croismare»; «Muller Croismare Nancy»; or «Croismare Nancy». The explanation for the occasional appearance of the name «Nancy» is uncertain. At Luneville cameo art glass was produced almost entirely by acid cutting. A greater variety of styles are evident in the Croismare cameo pieces with both acid and wheel cutting used. In some of the Croismare pieces wheel engraving was the major cutting technique. The exact dates of operation of the Luneville and Croismare glassworks by the Muller brothers are unknown to us, although the most active period of production has been stated to be from about 1905 to 1937.
