Production did not take place in Nancy, but in Croismare (near Lunéville), where Paul served as director. Beginning in 1927, the factory became mechanized to produce blown, pressed, and molded glass pieces, marked “Lorrain.” Between 1928 and 1934, Pierre d’Avesn produced innovative designs at this factory, marked “Lorrain” and “Lorrain/P D’Avesn.”
