D'Argental, Richard and Arsall

Among the other more frequently encountered names in French cameo art glass available in the market today are D'Argental, Richard, and Arsall. All pieces encountered by the authors with these names are multilayered, acid–cut cameo with either floral or scenic glass designs. D'Argental apparently had a preference for dark pieces, particularly those with caramel–coloured backgrounds and outside layer of dark reddish–brown decorative glass. Richard and Arsall generally used much brighter colors. Richard demonstrated a greater degree of variety in both colors and shapes than either D'Argental or Arsall.
