ABOUT PRODUCTID 14081
This Czech vase from the 1930s is crafted from marbled glass in a warm yellowish-beige hue, veined with flowing lines of brown and grey reminiscent of natural marble. The surface is smooth and glossy, accentuated by four evenly spaced ribbed rings placed around its upper midsection—a hallmark art deco decorative motif emphasizing symmetry and geometric structure. The vessel's silhouette gently flares at the top and narrows towards a rounded, stable base. The interplay between rhythmic ridges and organically dispersed marbling aligns with Central European art deco, fusing ornamental detail and subtle formal rigor. The marbling's variations in saturation and tone lend the object subtle depth. Condition: structurally sound, no cracks, with a minor chip on the rim and light traces of age, consistent with period use.This vase evokes the spirit of the 1930s' modernist optimism—a time when glass could convincingly mimic marble and everyday items aspired to the status of small-scale sculpture. Light glides across the glossy surface, with ribbed rings dividing the body into harmonious segments, echoing the structured yet decorative nature of art deco. The small chip at the rim suggests decades of presence, its gentle imperfection a quiet testament to authenticity and passage of time.The vase can stand alone as a focal point on a dark wood sideboard or be paired with metallic accessories typical for art deco—such as a mirrored tray or a chromed lamp base. It is well-suited to arrangements with bold-stemmed fresh flowers or a single minimalist branch, bringing out the subtle color gradations and ringed detailing. Interiors referencing the 1920s and 1930s, or contemporary spaces with a curatorial edge, will provide an ideal setting for this marbled glass piece.
