This stunning Art Deco black opaline glass vase was created by Verrerie Doyen in Havré-Mons. The piece was expertly crafted in Belgium, circa 1930. The vase has a deep black color and features a silver-and-red geometric application pattern around its body. There is no visible designer's signature.

Founded in 1909 by Camille Rose—formerly of Verreries Saint‑Laurent in Manage—the Havre‑Ville glassworks evolved rapidly after its acquisition by Jean‑Baptiste Doyen around 1911. Together with his son, Gaston, Doyen expanded the site into a full glass factory.
Like many Belgian glassmakers, the firm shifted toward specialized production with the advent of automated bottle‑making. After World War I, management passed to Gaston Doyen and, in 1926, to his widow. The factory became known for producing glass to client‑specific designs and often retained molds for exclusive use, enabling wholesalers to market pieces under their own labels.
Doyen exhibited alongside Val Saint‑Lambert at the 1937 Paris Exposition. Employment peaked at 556 workers in 1930, with 437 in 1946 and 532 in 1947. After World War II, operations were revived under Paul Doyen, though the factory entered a long decline after 1968. MANUVERBEL absorbed it and ultimately closed in 1975. The final administrative offices were shuttered in 1987, marking the end of the Doyen enterprise.
