Moulded LALIQUE mark on the base: production between 1919 and the 1930s.
Original sepia staining in the recessed flowerhead relief: factory tinting from the period.
Darkening across the leather pad: many years of dressing table use.
Satin-frosted finish to the pressed glass: typical glassmaking between the wars.

This Art Deco vanity box is an elongated boat-shaped piece made of frosted and moulded glass in a frosted white colour. Dating from 1920, the design incorporates a raised oval lid handle featuring a sepia-stained floral motif and a moulded mark to the base. The piece measures 4 cm high and 14 cm wide. Today, this object serves well as a decorative accessory displayed on a bathroom counter. The smooth translucent surfaces and the delicate contrast of the sepia-tinted floral carving on the top handle give the vanity box a refined look suited to everyday use in a modern interior.

FAQs

During the late Art Nouveau and early Art Deco periods, renowned glassmakers created utilitarian dressing table items, such as powder boxes and nail buffer holders, transforming everyday items into decorative glassware.

These items were predominantly crafted from demi-crystal or press-moulded glass, treated with acid or sandblasting to achieve a frosted finish, and often detailed with hand-applied cold stains or patinas.

Authentic period pieces typically feature moulded or hand-etched signatures, precise mold lines, distinct frosting, and consistent patination within the recessed decorative details.

A vintage glass vanity box can be placed on a bathroom marble counter, a bedroom dressing table, or a tray to store small items like jewellery or cufflinks.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent applied with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or vigorous rubbing on areas with original surface patination or staining.
