1 When was the line produced and for how long? In January 1927, the Consolidated Glass Company had now been producing items for the giftware trade since January 1926. Most of the items were described as glass tableware. The Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes was held in 1925 in Paris. In 1926, a traveling exhibition of 40 objects including 50 pieces of glass traveled to Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. In the decorative arts field of glassware, the work of Rene Lalique, master glass designer and producer, was well represented in this show. There were "glass vases decorated with large berries, brown scarabs, birds. Glass vases in blue and gray, opal and in violet and opal green."
1 When was the line produced and for how long? Does that Lalique color palette sound familiar to us as collectors of Consolidated glass? Well, of course it does due to the man who was the chief designer from 1925 until his death in 1933, Reuben Haley. By 1927, the Martel辿 line and the Santa Maria line were already in production. In 1927 would come another line featuring acid-etching on blanks of green, coffee, pink, and clear glass. However, on April 2, 1932 the whole plant was shut down. Whether the Florentine-Chintz line was in continuous production over those five years in not known at this time.
2 Who designed the line? On page 140 of Jack Wilsons book, he recounts a conversation with Jim Ciccone, who worked at Consolidated. He stated that Haley was designing all the molds. When Reuben Haley died, control of the molds he had designed went to his son Kenneth Haley who moved them to Phoenix Glass to produce the Phoenix Reuben Line. This is well documented (see Reuben Line powerpoint on website). It is interesting that only one of the Florentine molds, the 2002 mold, would have a similar shape as part of the Reuben Line. The 2002 4 inch tall mold resembles the original mold, #2695 Olives vase from the Martel辿 line.
3 How was it produced? In Jack Wilsons book on page 37, he recounts a conversation with Paul R. Angelo, whose father Joe Angelo was in charge of the etching department. Mr. Angelo held several patents for various styles of etching. During the the flu epidemic of the early 1900s I was in grade school, and when my father became ill he taught me how to mix acids and also acid resistant paint used to make prints or designs to be etched on various glass wares. I would mix before and after school.
3 How was it produced? I believe that Consolidated used a two-step process to produce this line. First, to produce the raised design, the glass item would be coated with wax. A pattern would be drawn or transferred onto the wax. The acid would eat away the surface of the glass not covered in wax. In the case of the Florentine/Chintz line, the patterns are raised and the background is cut back. Then, the whole item would be satin etched by being dipped into hydrofluroic acid.
contrast a piece of French Crystal with close-up detail of green & coffee Florentine.
3 How was it produced? There were two types of acid-etching done by Consolidated: 1) Satin (or silk) etching, using hydrofluoric acid to achieve a smooth satinized finish. Consolidated had been using this process since 1893. It is this process what produced the satin background of the French Crystal finish used on the Dancing Nymphs line. 2) Color etching: Both sulfuric AND hydrofluoric acids were used, plus other chemicals. The acid cut into the top surface of the glass, back to the underlying layer of glass, thus exposing it. This type of glass goes by several names: acid-cutback or acid-etched
3 How was it produced? It is this second acid-etched process of color etching that would be used on a new line introduced in January 1927 to the trade: the Florentine line and the Chintz line, the subjects of this presentation.

3 How was it produced? I believe that the molds for the Chintz line were very different from the molds used in the Florentine line. The surface of Chintz glass is covered in a high relief Art Deco pattern in which diagonal lines cover the surface of each piece. This pattern is in the mold. The mold includes raised very Oriental-inspired circular cartouches that are covered in black enamel. The glass has an amethyst wash fired onto it, except for the molded raised black enamel cartouches. Consolidated referred to the resulting final color is Mulberry. Interestingly, the background of the black enamel cartouches is clear glass. This means that the whole piece was covered with the amethyst wash. Then the raised circles were wiped clean before the black enamel was put on those cartouches. The patterns on the black cartouches are consistent between different Chintz pieces leading me to believe that a transferware pattern was used to apply the pattern for the black enamel.

  • 94. 3 How was it produced? I believe that the molds for the Chintz line were very different from the molds used in the Florentine line. The surface of Chintz glass is covered in a high relief Art Deco pattern in which diagonal lines cover the surface of each piece. This pattern is in the mold. The mold includes raised very Oriental-inspired circular cartouches that are covered in black enamel. The glass has an amethyst wash fired onto it, except for the molded raised black enamel cartouches. Consolidated referred to the resulting final color is Mulberry. Interestingly, the background of the black enamel cartouches is clear glass. This means that the whole piece was covered with the amethyst wash. Then the raised circles were wiped clean before the black enamel was put on those cartouches. The patterns on the black cartouches are consistent between different Chintz pieces leading me to believe that a transferware pattern was used to apply the pattern for the black enamel.
