FAQs

Art Deco glassware from the 1920s is characterised by geometric symmetry, stylised natural motifs, and innovative moulding techniques that emphasised texture and light interaction.

Makers utilised specialised glass formulations containing bone ash or arsenic to achieve a semi-translucent milky body that diffuses light, often combined with mould-blown shaping and acid-staining.

Authenticity is determined by examining the crispness of the moulded relief, the specific weight and tone of the glass, and the presence of period-correct signature markings or factory etchings on the base.

Such decorative objects work effectively when placed on high-contrast surfaces like dark wood or marble consoles, allowing natural light to highlight the translucent qualities and detailed relief.

Preservation requires gentle hand washing with lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and keeping the piece away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent surface alteration.
