Description:
French Art Deco Crystal “Envol” Center Bowl by Portieux. An amber-colored center bowl molded with art deco-style motifs depicting the wings of Icarus, the tragic Greek mythology character from Ovid’s "Metamorphoses." He fell to his death in what is now the Icarian Sea after ignoring his father’s warning that the feathered wings were held together by wax and might melt if he flew too close to the scorching sun. The “Envol” winged motif was a classic Portieux design. The original Portieux foil label reads “Portieux/France/Hand Made/Mouth Blown/Fait Main/Souffle Bouche.”
