This piece is an Art Deco car mascot from the 1920 period, taking the form of a siren figure. The object is composed of opalescent blue glass with a frosted finish and rests on a clear circular moulded base. The sculpture depicts a crouching female figure with stylised hair, showing delicate carved drapery flows down the back and blue staining highlighting the details of the form. Moulded and engraved marks appear on the base. Standing at 10 cm high, the sculpture has a compact form that fits easily onto a flat surface. Today, this decorative item serves well as an accent piece in a domestic setting. Placed upon a mantelpiece, a shelf, or a desk, the glass catches the light and adds a distinct period touch to an interior space. The translucent blue tone and sculptural design complement traditional and contemporary rooms alike, functioning as a standalone display object that brings a refined historical detail to a living area or study.

Glass car mascots emerged in the 1920s as luxury accessories for automobiles, popularised primarily by French glassmakers who adapted radiator cap mountings into sculptural works of Art Deco art.

Opalescent glass was produced by adding chemical agents such as bone ash or fluorides to the molten glass batch, which caused light to scatter and create a milky blue translucent effect upon cooling.

Authentic pieces typically feature molded or wheel-cut maker signatures, specific weight and hand-finished details, as well as light base wear consistent with age and previous mounting.

Glass mascots serve as refined decorative accents on mantelpieces, bookshelves, or side tables, particularly when positioned near indirect light sources to highlight their translucency.

Clean opalescent glass gently using tepid water and mild soap with a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive pads, or sudden temperature changes.
