AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Bohemian Art Deco 'Glue Chip' and satin-finished glass vase with gilding, from the Haida or Steinschönau region, circa 1930.
Specifications:
Period: Art Deco
Circa 1930
Origin: Bohemia (Czechoslovakia), probably from the Haida region (Nový Bor) or Steinschönau.
Type of decor: Glue Chip (frosted glass / Verre Givré), satinized glass, and enamel edges.
• Dimensions: Height 21 cm, diameter 9 cm
Description:
The vase has a classic, lightly tapered baluster shape that tapers upward into a flat, beveled mouth rim with an inner facet. The decoration consists of a clean, geometric flat pattern characteristic of Art Deco. Vertical bands of clear glass are worked with the 'glue chip' technique, resulting in a jagged, ice-like texture that feels sharp and rough. These textured panels are alternated with vertical bands of smooth, satin (matte) glass. The transitions between the different textures are accentuated by fine white enamel borders, which enhance the vertical rhythm of the object. The foot and the upper rim are adorned with broad and narrow gold bands, creating a luxurious contrast with the matte surface. The underside is flat and shows signs of use consistent with its age.
Photos: See all photos for a complete impression. They were taken in a photo studio.
Biography & context
During the Interwar period (1918-1939), the Bohemian glass industry experienced a peak. In the region around Haida and Steinschönau, numerous 'refineries' were active: workshops that purchased glass semi-finished products and decorated them with advanced techniques such as etching, grinding, enameling, and the 'glue chip' method shown here. This technique, in which animal glue was applied to the glass and flakes from the surface were pulled off during the drying process, created a unique organic pattern reminiscent of ice flowers or frozen windows.
Condition: Gold loss at the top edge; see photos.
Expert note:
This object is a representative example of Bohemian export glass from the 1930s. The combination of tactile contrasts—the rough ice glass against the soft satin glass—testifies to a thoughtful design. The condition is generally good, with a note of some wear to the gilding around the upper rim, which is consistent with the age and use. The absence of a signature is common for this type of production, which was often only marked with a paper label.
