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 third one we've ever had of this design in the last 15 years, so reasonably rare.

Date of Manufacture

Art Deco World has dated this Art Deco Uranium Glass Centrepiece to the 1930s.

FAQs

Art Deco glassware from the 1930s is characterised by geometric motifs, stylised figures, symmetry, and bold contrasts, reflecting an era of industrial modernisation and sleek design.

Uranium glass is created by adding uranium oxide to the glass melt before shaping, which results in a distinct vibrant green or yellow hue that fluoresces brightly under ultraviolet light.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate mould seams, minor manufacturing imperfections such as tiny air bubbles, and a strong lime-green glow when exposed to a 395nm UV blacklight.

Place the piece on a reflective surface or near a light source to highlight its translucent qualities, allowing it to serve as a striking sculptural focal point in a contemporary room scheme.

Wash the glass gently by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, and sudden temperature changes to protect the fragile vintage material.
