Art Deco “Floralies” Vase by Doyen Belgium, ca. 1930s This elegant Art Deco vase by Doyen is crafted from refined amethyst-tinted glass, displaying soft smoky-violet tones that subtly shift depending on the light. The colour is delicate yet atmospheric, giving the piece a calm and sophisticated presence. Its distinctive, sculptural form — with gently undulating contours and a wide, balanced body — reflects the organic interpretation of geometry typical of the 1930s. The fluid transitions between the planes create a sense of movement, making the vase visually dynamic from every angle. The piece is entirely hand-blown, demonstrating the craftsmanship associated with the Doyen glassworks in Havré-Ville (Mons), Belgium. Slight variations and tiny inclusions are inherent to this technique and serve as a testament to its handmade origin. The vase remains in very good condition, with light signs of wear consistent with age, and no chips or cracks. A refined and atmospheric Art Deco object, equally suited for collectors or as a subtle statement piece in both classic and contemporary interiors. In the early 20th century, Jean-Baptiste Doyen and his son Gaston established a glass factory in Havré-Ville, near Mons, Belgium. Originally named Verreries Gobeleteries d’Havré-Ville, the company specialized in producing high-quality blown glassware, including tableware, lighting, and decorative pieces. Doyen’s work became particularly renowned for its Art Deco designs, featuring elegant shapes, refined engravings, and meticulous craftsmanship. A notable example is a set of mouth-blown glasses adorned with finely scoured olive shapes and intricate fan patterns, showcasing the exquisite attention to detail of the era. Among Doyen’s most celebrated creations is the “Floralies” series, which embodies the refined elegance of Art Deco design. Produced in the early 20th century, these vases are distinguished by their bold geometric forms, intricate detailing, and rich, vibrant colors. One of the most remarkable models, no. 150, crafted in the 1930s, features striking vertical stripes and a distinctive corrugated collar, often produced in warm brown glass. Many pieces from the series still bear the “Floralies” label, preserving their legacy and making them easily recognizable among collectors. Today, Doyen’s glassware remains highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors of Belgian Art Deco pieces. Their timeless elegance and historical significance continue to make them prized additions to vintage collections, standing as a testament to Belgium’s rich glassmaking tradition and artistic heritage.
