Chistallerie Wadgassen, Villeroy & Boch, Edmund Rigot.

Unfortunately, little is known about Edmund Rigot's creative phase.
The ceramic works Villeroy & Boch founded a glass factory in Wadgassen (Germany, Saarland) in 1842 based on the model of Baccarat. This was shut down in 1986. The glass cutter Endmund Rigot, born in Saint Louis (Münztal) in France in 1885, whose father came from Wadgassen, worked in this glassworks from 1929 to 1934. He died in 1946. Edmund Rigot, a former glass cutter, had acquired his skills from Paul Nicolas (Saint Louis), a former employee of Emil Galle'. The work he carried out in the style of Emil Galle' for the Villeroy & Boch company was actually no longer up-to-date; it carried on the spirit of "Art Nouvau". These etched and cut glasses were sold under the name "Vibro Kunstglas". They often have two signatures "Rigot" and "Villeroy & Boch", rarely also the designation "Vibro".
Even if these pieces no longer seem up-to-date to us, they are of high quality. Almost every etched pattern was made individually by hand without a template. This can be clearly seen in the two pink-colored vases with orchids shown.
The yellow vase with the orchids has no signature, maybe
it was made at another manufactory in Lorraine.
The historian and glass researcher Wolfgang W. Hennig reports in 1977: Edmund Rigot was never, as has often been claimed, employed in Weißwasser (Arsall). Nicolas Rigot worked there from 1918, who died in 1924, he was not related to Edmund Rigot.
