Art Deco Uranium Glass Bud Vase – Verreries de Scailmont, Belgium, 1930s An elegant and distinctive Art Deco bud vase produced by the renowned Belgian glassworks Verreries de Scailmont in the 1930s. This model is documented in the factory’s original catalogue and illustrated in reference literature dedicated to the manufactory, reinforcing its authenticity and collectible appeal. The design is defined by a refined, slender silhouette with vertical fluting rising from a sculptural, petal-like stepped base — a form that feels both architectural and organic, perfectly in tune with Art Deco aesthetics. Delicate yet striking, the vase has a graceful presence whether displayed as a decorative object or used for a single stem. Crafted in uranium glass, it shows a soft yellow-green tone in daylight and glows vivid green under UV light, a captivating characteristic highly appreciated by collectors. The interplay of transparency, light, and fluted form gives the piece remarkable visual elegance. Uranium glass is no longer produced and has become increasingly sought after for its historical significance and unique luminous qualities. A beautiful and authentic example of Belgian Art Deco glass, combining documented provenance, sculptural design, and enduring collector appeal. There is a small manufacturing imperfection in the lower part of the vase, visible as a tiny cloudy spot. Scailmont glass ( Verreries de Scailmont) in Belgium, is renowned for its exquisite Art Deco and Art Nouveau designs. Founded by Henri-Raphaël Hirsch, (who had established the “Saint-Laurent Glassworks” a few years earlier) in 1901 in Manage, the factory specialized in molded and satin-finished glassware, featuring intricate etching, enameling, and sandblasting techniques. Collaborations with renowned designers such as Henri Heemskerk and Charles Catteau brought international acclaim, particularly after the 1925 Paris Exposition. Scailmont’s products, including vases and tableware, were often marked with the factory’s name or designer signatures, making them highly collectible. The company also partnered with brands like Boch Frères and Val-Saint-Lambert Despite industry challenges, Scailmont remained a key player in Belgium’s glass industry until it merged with Durobor in 1976 and ceased operations in 2000. Today, Scailmont glass is prized for its elegant designs and fine craftsmanship. Will be carefully packaged, well protected and insured
