This crystal hip flask, dating to the 1930s, exemplifies French Art Deco design, embodying the era's transition toward geometric simplicity and refined elegance. Its body is crafted from highly transparent, colorless crystal with a smooth, unadorned finish that enhances its minimalist character—a signature of late Art Deco. The rectangular silhouette is softened by rounded shoulders and edges, resulting in a harmonious, well-proportioned form. Key construction details include a precisely threaded neck and a domed, metal-plated cap—likely silver or nickel-plated brass—bearing a gentle patina and mirror-like finish that subtly reflects ambient light. A discrete metallic collar marks the junction between crystal and metal, testifying to the flask's careful craftsmanship. Minor traces of wear and small marks are visible, especially near the base and on the cap—authentic signs of vintage use. The flask remains in very good condition overall, with no structural damage or chips.This object echoes the spirit of the 1930s, a decade when clarity of form became synonymous with everyday elegance and practical items were transformed into statements of contemporary taste. The cool transparency of the crystal, reminiscent of a still water surface, captures and reflects the light with the subtle brilliance unique to noble materials, while the slightly tarnished cap alludes to past journeys, the rhythm of trains, and quiet evening toasts in the company of city lights. The way light traverses the slender profile signals both the period's devotion to function and its embrace of the art of everyday pleasures.The flask can serve
