Antique Uranium Glass Powder Jar / Sugar Bowl, 1915 – Brockwitz
A remarkable original example of early 20th-century European glassmaking, this 1915 Brockwitz uranium glass powder jar reflects the elegance and precision of pre-war German design.
Crafted from richly faceted uranium glass, the piece displays a luminous yellow-green hue that intensifies in natural light and glows vividly under UV illumination. Notably, uranium glass is no longer produced, making surviving antique examples increasingly rare and highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Each year, demand continues to grow as authentic pieces from this era become harder to find.
The geometric pressed pattern and domed lid with a faceted finial are characteristic of Brockwitz’s refined decorative style. Originally intended as a powder jar, it may also be elegantly repurposed as a sugar bowl or decorative container, blending historical charm with practical versatility.
What truly sets this piece apart is its exceptional, near-perfect condition — free from chips, cracks, or restorations. Considering its age of over 100 years, this level of preservation is extraordinary and greatly enhances its collectible value.
Photographs from the original Brockwitz factory catalog are included and directly correspond to this model, providing clear documentation and confirming the authenticity of the piece.
A rare and documented survivor from the golden age of pressed glass, this Brockwitz uranium glass jar is an outstanding acquisition for serious collectors of antique glass, early decorative arts, and historic uranium glass.
Brockwitz was a renowned German glass manufacturer established in 1903 in the town of Brockwitz, near Dresden. The company gained prominence for its exquisite pressed glassware, particularly during the early to mid-20th century. Starting around 1915, Brockwitz produced a diverse range of Carnival Glass, celebrated for its vibrant iridescent finishes and intricate patterns. In the 1930s and 1940s, the company expanded its repertoire to include remarkable Art Deco pieces, many of which were featured in their extensive 1941 catalog. These designs often showcased geometric motifs, stylized flora and fauna, and innovative forms that captured the essence of the Art Deco movement. Notable examples include the “Parakeet” bird vase and the “Serpent” handled centerpiece bowl. Today, Brockwitz glassware remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, admired for its artistic craftsmanship and historical significance.
