This Art Deco pendant originates from 1920 and is made from green and purple pate de verre glass, complemented by a green silk cord and a matching silk tassel. The square flat moulded pendant displays relief decoration showing a central butterfly motif with purple and blue wings against a translucent ground, framed by a scrollwork border. The piece hangs from a knotted green cord at the top and terminates in a detailed silk tassel suspended from a small loop at the base. The overall item measures 5.5 cm high by 5.5 cm wide. It represents a collectable piece of early twentieth-century glassware designed for display or specialized decorative use within a domestic setting.

FAQs

Pate de verre is a glass casting technique revived during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements, involving the placement of crushed glass paste into a mould prior to firing.

Craftspeople ground coloured glass into fine powder, mixed it with a binder to create a paste, painted the mixture into refractory moulds, and fused the layers within a kiln.

Authentic period pieces feature integrated maker signatures cast into the glass body, subtle translucency, crisp relief detail, and original silk cord mountings.

A long corded pendant functions as a focal statement piece when worn over plain knitwear, tailored blazers, or minimalist evening wear.

Clean the glass surface gently with a soft dry cloth, keeping moisture and chemical solutions away from textile tassels or porous glass edges.
