Art Deco Uranium Glass Vase by Karl Palda, Czech Republic , 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 turquoise colouring with jet black enamel accents, acid etching but is a great size standing just over 25 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 vase itself is a shape we've not hand before it tapers in as you get to the base but the actual shape of the vase is very similar to handkerchief vases of the 1950's. It presents beautifully with any floral display and the vase itself being generously decorated on all sides and angles makes it the perfect piece for display just on it's own.

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.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Art Deco Czech glass from the 1930s is characterised by bold geometric forms, faceted silhouettes, and contrasting enamel or etched surface decoration. Manufacturers such as Karl Palda popularised these architectural designs during the interwar period.

Uranium glass is manufactured by adding uranium oxide to the molten glass mixture, which imparts a distinctive yellow or green body colour. Under ultraviolet light, the uranium content causes the glass to fluoresce vividly.

Authentic pieces display fluorescence under a ultraviolet blacklight. Identification relies on era-appropriate design characteristics, including precise geometric cutting, acid etching, hand-applied enamel, and flat-ground bases typical of Bohemian production.

Position the vase near natural light sources or on an elevated surface to display its translucent colour and geometric facets. It functions as a singular accent piece on a sideboard, fireplace mantel, or open shelf.

Clean gently by hand using lukewarm water, mild washing-up liquid, and a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges, dishwashers, and sudden temperature shifts to protect applied enamel detailing and avoid thermal fractures.
