SPV (Société Parisienne de Verreries/Parisian Society of Glass) at Orly. Abbreviated to 'SPV'; established by Louis de Beaune at Boulevard Auguste Blanqui in Paris in 1889; glass manufacturer, merged with C Depinoix in 1936.
Used signature ESPAIVET, which is a phonetizing of the acronym of the SPV glassworks. The earliest traces of the Société Parisienne de Verrerie are found between the years 1890 and 1925 located at 112 boulevard d'Italie (today boulevard Auguste Blanqui, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.)
SPV initially specialized in optical glassware for the medical industry. In 1895, Pierre Curie was made technical advisor for optics in this company at this address. It was after 1925 that SPV diversified its production to make artistic and decorative objects: Mainly bottles and perfumery items as well as vases in the true Art Deco style.
There is still today a Société Parisienne de Verrerie in Orly (94) which manufactures bottles for laboratories... but the history of this company does not mention any relationship with the former SPV brand.
