Henri Quenvil

Henri Quenvil was a French artist working from the early 1900s til the 1930s.  Quenvil produced beautiful glassware and porcelain with thickly applied polychrome enamel in the manner. His style is like that of Robj, Andre Delatte, Marcel Goupy, Argy Rousseau, Mayozer. and others.




Items marked with the Quenvil signature are very rare. Marcel Franck supplied the hardware for Quenvil, and Quenvil's enameled perfume atomizers are shown in a 1924 Marcel Franck catalog. One of the motifs was named "Fuschias". The perfume atomizers can be quite rare to find.

Les Arts français: arts, métiers, industrie - Volumes 1-12 - Page 94, 1917:
"Les émaux et peintures à froid de Quenvil (verrerie) : c'est une maison qui a sept mois, le patron est élève des Arts décoratifs, jeune, chercheur : ses formes curieuses, coloris un peu vifs, mais il faut retenir ce nom. Ses peintures sur verre.."

"Enamels and cold paints Verreries Quenvil: This is a house that has seven months, the young leader of Decorative Arts student researcher's curious shapes, colors a little bright, but remember that name. Paintings on glass."
