Ah la belle Douvaine. The Unger family called it "Mask" because they had forgotten the original name. Robert Koch, celebrated Louis Tiffany scholar, just filled me in on the source of the name. Douvaine is the name of a city in France, just south of Geneva, Switzerland, near lac Leman (which we erroneously call Lake Geneva). It seems today to be another thriving little French city, but I suspect, given its location, it was a pretty watering spot for tourists in the 19th century, perhaps even a place where the Unger vacationed. I popped the name into the internet and came up with all sorts of websites for the city (and the flatware). IP: Logged |
