Six-piece vanity set in hand-blown glass with a mottled pattern in coral orange and white tones. The set exhibits the geometric and functional aesthetics typical of the late Art Deco period, with a satin finish that provides a translucent and soft-to-the-touch texture.
History of the item:
This type of mottled or 'spatter glass' was a highly valued technique in Bohemian and French glassworks during the 1920s and 30s. The design was achieved by applying colored glass fragments onto a molten glass base, creating unique organic patterns in each piece. This set represents the transition toward modernity in the daily objects of the European upper class.
Details and features:
- Era: Circa 1920-1930.
- Technique: Hand-blown glass with color inclusions and a carved black glass stopper.
- Composition: One tray, one perfume bottle with stopper, one metallic atomizer bottle, one large powder jar with lid, and two cosmetic jars.
- Measurements: Tray 24 cm x 8 cm (9.4 x 3.1 inches); maximum bottle height 12 cm (4.7 inches).
- Materials: Soda-lime glass, metal mounting.
- Condition: Structural integrity is sound. The atomizer bottle is missing its original bulb and flexible tube. A small chip is noted on the inner rim of one of the small jars, visible under close inspection but not compromising the aesthetic integrity of the set.
Collection value:
Of interest to collectors of interwar glass and specialists in period interior decoration. The set is notable for retaining most of its original elements in the same chromatic pattern.
