Description

An Art Deco malachite glass box and cover by Heinrich Hoffman for Curt Schlevogt.

In excellent condition, it depicts a reposing female nude modelled in relief .

There is an apochriphal "R LALIQUE" stencil on the inside of the cover.

This is a lovely example of the work of Heinrich Hoffman.

Heinrich Hoffmann (1875 – 1939) and Henry Schlevogt (1904 – 1984) were relatives and both artists from  North Bohemia, who worked in continuity, sometimes with the same design molds.

These molds were all exclusively pressed by the powerful family glassworks of Josef Riedel established in Polaun (Polubný).

Hoffman opened a shop selling glass jewellery in Paris in the early 1900s. After studying glassmaking in Gablonz he widened the range of his products to decorative pressed molds and flacons through the influence and artistic direction of René Lalique.

FAQs

Art Deco malachite glass, often referred to as jadeite or pressed slag glass, achieved peak popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, heavily influenced by industrial modernisation and classical revival motifs.

These pieces are typically created using pressed glass techniques, where molten glass containing mineral oxidessuch as copper for green huesis forced into metal moulds to achieve opaque, marbled effects resembling natural stone.

Authenticity is determined by evaluating surface wear, mould seam clarity, weight, depth of colour saturation, and occasionally maker marks or signatures characteristic of prominent Bohemian glassworks.

Placement on a vanity surface, dressing table, or accent tray allows the item to function as a focal point, contrasting effectively with minimalist contemporary furnishings.

Preservation requires gentle hand washing with mild soap and lukewarm water, avoiding abrasive cleaning agents, and keeping the item away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent colour fading.
