ABOUT PRODUCTID 5986
This decorative Art Deco lidded container was crafted in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s. Its body is made of ceramic with a deep, muted red semi-matte glaze, complemented by antique gold-toned metal bands at the top and bottom, each bearing a refined patina. The lid is topped with a smooth, cream-colored knob—most likely bakelite or an early plastic—which stands in striking contrast to the rich red of the vessel. The metalwork is intricately detailed, featuring repeating geometric and stylized botanical motifs typical of late Art Deco, such as symmetrical leaves and fan patterns, creating an ornamental border around both the container and its lid. The proportions are compact and balanced—a low, wide cylindrical form measuring 9.5 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height. The condition is very good, with only subtle traces of use and a natural patina on the metal, without major damage or intervention. This piece tells the story of an era when craftsmanship and decoration met under the banner of modernity. The smooth ceramic surface and weighty gilded bands recall the luxurious interiors of the interwar years, when Art Deco reigned in cafés, salons, and Parisian studios. The circular silhouette and rhythmic repetition of geometric motifs evoke the architecture of cinemas or ocean liners, while the gentle patina hints at decades of history embedded in every detail. The container would serve as a decorative accent on a living room console, dresser, or vanity. It could be paired with other Art
