Stunning Art Deco Uranium Glass Vase by Karl Palda, Prague, C1930

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Art Deco World
Description

Originating from Czech Republic this vase not has the wow factor with it's very distinctive green colouring and jet black enamel accents but is a great size standing just over 19 cm. Condition is very good, I couldn't find any damage or flaws to note only some very minor light surface scratches to the base. Typical of Palda glass, this vase has the iconic reverse etched stylized floral accents. It also has the most fabulous geometric patterning that Art Deco collectors will appreciate. The enamel is bright and crisp and free from any oxidation often found of enamel from the 30's. The baluster shape is the ideal shape to display any floral offerings and the vase itself being generously decorated on all sides and angles makes it the perfect piece for display just on it's own as well.

The most common color 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 vase definitely won't disappoint, we defy the new owner not to fall in love it.

FAQs

Art Deco glass design emerged during the 1920s and 1930s, defined by bold geometric patterns, sharp angles, and stylized linear motifs. Glassmakers across Europe, particularly in Czechoslovakia and France, embraced modern industrial aesthetics by combining contrasting textures such as acid-etched frosting, high-gloss enamel, and vibrant glass hues.

Uranium glass was created by adding small amounts of uranium dioxide to molten glass prior to shaping. This chemical compound imparted a distinctive yellow-green hue to the glass batch, while black enamel detailing and frosted areas were subsequently added using cold enamel paint, cut work, or acid-etching techniques.

Authentic uranium glass fluoresces bright green under long-wave ultraviolet light due to the presence of uranium oxide. Original 1930s Bohemian pieces often exhibit hand-cut facets, polished bases, and hand-applied enamelling that shows minor natural wear consistent with period production methods.

Place the vase as a standalone statement accent on a modern sideboard, mantelpiece, or glass display cabinet. Position the vessel near ambient light sources to showcase its translucent colour and geometric linear enamelling against neutral backdrops.

Wash the glass gently by hand using lukewarm water and a mild dishwashing soap, taking care not to submerge or scrub surface-applied black enamel. Avoid automatic dishwashers, abrasive sponges, and extreme thermal shock to preserve both the glass structural integrity and painted detail.
