Product description
**Exquisite Cased Glass Vase: Jugendstil / Art Déco Style, Circa 1930s** Step back into the elegance of the early 20th century with this extraordinary cased glass vase, a hand-blown masterpiece that beautifully bridges the Jugendstil and Art Deco styles. Presumed to date from the 1930s, this vase exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic innovation that characterized this transformative era. **About the Jugendstil and Art Deco Styles**: Jugendstil, the German counterpart of Art Nouveau, flourished at the turn of the 20th century, emphasizing organic forms, flowing lines, and the integration of fine craftsmanship with everyday objects. This artistic movement celebrated natural beauty, often drawing inspiration from botanical elements, and sought to break away from historical styles, embracing a new, modern aesthetic. As Jugendstil evolved, it gradually transitioned into the Art Deco style in the 1920s and 1930s, a movement known for its bold geometric patterns, vibrant colors, and luxurious materials. Art Deco represented the opulence and modernity of the post-World War I era, blending artistic expression with industrial design. This vase, with its clean lines and elegant form, captures the essence of this transition, combining Jugendstil's organic beauty with Art Deco's streamlined sophistication. **The Craftsmanship of Cased Glass**: Cased glass, a technique where multiple layers of glass are fused together, was highly prized in the early 20th century for its ability to create rich, layered colors and intricate designs. This vase showcases a delicate melange of pistachio green and a mother-of-pearl finish, adding a luminous, iridescent quality that changes with the light. The vase's Sanduhr (hourglass) shape further enhances its delicate beauty, embodying both the graceful curves of Jugendstil and the modern symmetry of Art Deco. **Dimensions and Condition**: Measuring 23.5 cm in height with a diameter of 14.5 cm, this antique vase is in remarkable condition, especially considering its age. Its exquisite coloring and form make it a standout piece, whether displayed as a focal point in a collection or as an elegant addition to any interior space. **A Piece of History**: Standing as a testament to the period’s innovation, this vase is not just a decorative object but also a piece of history. Its presumed origin in the 1930s places it within a significant era of artistic evolution, where the boundaries between art and design were continually redefined. This Jugendstil-Art Deco cased glass vase, with its pistachio green and mother-of-pearl hues, is more than just a functional item—it’s a piece of art that encapsulates the essence of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the beauty and sophistication of early 20th-century design. **Why This Vase?**: This vase is a perfect example of the transitional period between two iconic art movements. It is ideal for collectors of Jugendstil or Art Deco, as well as those who appreciate the finer details of vintage glass craftsmanship. Its unique design, impeccable condition, and historical significance make it a treasure for any discerning collector.
