ABOUT PRODUCTID 16968
The 'Three Graces' centerpiece, designed by Etienne Franckhauser and produced by Jobling in the UK during the 1930s, is an example of pressed glasswork in a cool, light turquoise hue. The exterior surface is predominantly matte, with areas of satin sheen accentuating the soft rounding of the bowl's silhouette. The wide, shallow bowl transitions into a sculptural stem formed by three stylized female figures, rendered in a classical antique manner with elongated bodies and flowing drapery – clear reference to the Art Deco era's aesthetics. The base bears concentric, stepped grooves, adding geometric structure. The glass has a uniform, slightly grainy pressed texture, definitive for the production technique. A small chip is visible at the base, yet overall preservation of the piece is very good with no significant cracks or signs of repair.
This turquoise glass tells a tale of interwar England – a time when classical motifs received a modern interpretation, and the inherent nobility of the material met the Art Deco taste for stylization and geometrical clarity. The three female figures recall the timeless inspiration of antiquity while aligning with streamlined forms and decorative symmetry of the 1930s. The gentle, clouded light, softly diffused by the satin glass, enhances each sculpted detail, rendering the object both poetic and evocative of its era.
