## About Andre Thuret

André Thuret (1898–1965) was a French glassworker identified consistently by VIAF and Getty's Union List of Artist Names. Public authority records place him within twentieth-century French decorative arts rather than documenting him as a painter or sculptor. The available evidence is concise, but it supports glass as his principal medium; a Wikimedia Commons record also documents a circa-1930 glass flask with colored inclusions associated with his name and the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Thuret through decorative glass objects and vessels, where form, color, surface, and fabrication are central to identification. His name may appear with or without the accent in André, so authority identifiers are useful for separating him from unrelated makers and other people named Thuret. No specific artistic movement, workshop history, or catalogue raisonné is established by the collected source pack.

## Common works and media

The strongest source-pack evidence points to glasswork. A documented circa-1930 example is a flask with colored inclusions, while the Appraisily page places matched records within decorative-art auction coverage. In appraisal contexts, prioritize glass vessels or objects carrying a credible Thuret attribution; record dimensions, form, colored inclusions, surface characteristics, marks or inscriptions, provenance, and condition. The pack does not establish paintings, prints, sculpture, ceramics, formal editions, or named series as characteristic output, so those categories should not be assumed without object-specific evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's public artist index contains matched auction records for Andre Thuret, but those records should be treated as comparable evidence rather than a price prediction. For appraisal, begin with objects of the same medium, function, size, and approximate date. Then compare condition, restoration, surface quality, signatures or inscriptions, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, and the recency of similar public sales. Because the available market page uses a broad category taxonomy, confirm that each proposed comparable is actually glass by Thuret and not a name match or unrelated object. Reported auction totals may also differ in their treatment of buyer's premiums and fees, while private sales and incomplete feeds may not be represented.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public records should be verified against the object, attribution, condition, and reporting basis of each sale.
