Topping off #InternationalChameleonDay with this collection of pâte de verre glass chameleons by Amalric Walter (French, 1870-1959) & Henri Bergé (French, 1870-1937), all c.1920:
1. paperweight H8.5cm
2. tray (vide-poche) H8.5 x L15 x P11.2 cm
3. tray (vide-poche) L25.5cm
4. pendant 60x60mm
"This French pate-de-verre (glass paste) pendant is a rare survivor of 'artistic' jewellery of the 1920s. It was made by Amalric Walter to designs of his friend Henri Berge at their glass studio in Nancy, Lorraine, which produced decorative glass objects for discerning clients between 1919 and 1935. Walter and Berge excelled at using the complex technique of pate-de-verre casting, which they perfected while working at the Daum glassworks before the first World War. They pressed layers of coloured glass granules into wax moulds before firing them the kiln. The technique offered endless colour combinations and Walter experimented with the chemicals used to colour the glass, even using uranium to achieve the bright yellow seen in this pendant. Their products varied in price and complexity and while they were often replicated in series, each piece was hand finished and unique with subtle design and surface variations. A distinctive characteristic was the use of naturalistic motifs which were becoming simpler as the modern Art Deco style began replacing Art Nouveau in the 1920s. Issued alongside chameleon paperweights and bowls, this pendant is an example of this stylistic transition. When sold new, it was probably suspended on long silk cords to complement fashionable Jazz-era dresses. Some of these pendants however, might have never been worn as they were also admired as art pieces and displayed in the home."

@roseszirnheld yessssss ship them with me!! My only point against Georges/Paddy is that Paddy doesn't deserve someone who thinks he should be locked in a cage, but at that point they hadn't talked, Georges knows fuck all about why Paddy is the way he is, and was looking out for his own men. He is smart enough to know how to (interrupted by fic idea hang on, jotting that down) navigate things.
And also Paddy's impressed little 'not bad' when Georges jumps. There's respect there, unexpected but there. I enjoy that moment.
The main conflict between them is that Georges is looking out for his guys, and Paddy is like lithium in water. Paddy might not agree with Georges taking the 'French' side, but he can also respect that Georges defends his men in the way he thinks is right for them. His comment about coming round to the idea that some of them are good men could be said with Georges in mind. Paddy is viciously loyal. Even he if clashes with someone over that, when he cools off I bet he can respect it in his opposite.
Also, Georges thinking 'isn't anyone going to tame him?' and not waiting for an answer before doing it himself
