Description

Standing approx 9" tall is this superbly stylish Art Deco comport. Originating from Czech republic and obviously influenced by Karl Palda this comport packs two punches, not only visually with it's very distinctive green / yellow colouring with added jet black enamel accents/design but the pure size of it which stands 23 cm high and 25cm in diameter. The glass is extremely thick and therefore the comport itself is very very heavy. The shape is extremely unusual, the column which supports the large bowl top features a nude female encircling to create the column. The most common colour of uranium glass is pale yellowish-green, which in the 1930s led to the nickname "Vaseline glass" based on a perceived resemblance to the appearance (which was a yellow-green colour) of Vaseline brand petroleum jelly as formulated and commercially sold at that time. This piece definitely won't disappoint, we defy the new owner not to fall in love it. Condition is excellent, can't find any damage or flaws to note. This is the second one we've ever had of this design in the last 15 years, so reasonably rare.

FAQs

Art Deco glass emerged during the 1920s and reached its peak in the 1930s, characterised by geometric forms, stylised motifs, and vibrant colours influenced by the modernist movement.

Uranium glass was manufactured by adding trace amounts of uranium oxide to the glass melt, which creates its distinctive yellow or green colour and causes the glass to fluoresce brightly under ultraviolet light.

Authenticity is verified by checking for characteristic mould seams, weight, period-accurate styling, and crucially, a bright neon green glow when exposed to a 365nm UV or blacklight.

Position the piece as a focal point on a dark surface or near a light source to accentuate its translucency, contrasting its geometric lines with minimalist contemporary surroundings.

Clean the piece gently using lukewarm water and mild dish soap with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive scourers, harsh chemicals, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
