André Delatte, Nancy 1887–1953

• André Delatte was a major French glassmaker and a fierce rival of Daum
• André Delatte founded a small glassworks “Les Verreries de l’Est SA” at Jarville, near Nancy France in 1921
• He aggressively hired skilled workers away from Daum. This led to a famous legal battle in 1922 where Daum sued him for “infringement” a case they ultimately lost, as the judge ruled Delatte’s designs were sufficiently distinct.
• His glass is signed “A.Delatte, Nancy” , “Javil” or “Loti,Nancy”
