Description from the seller
Extremely beautiful fruit bowl by Walter Sohne from Germany, from the Art Deco period around 1930-1940. The bowl is made of (smoked?) glass and in good condition. Dimensions are 32 x 7 cm.
August Walther & Söhne was a prominent German glass factory, especially known for its high-quality Art Deco pressed glass from the 1930s. The company has a rich history in producing decorative objects and tableware.
Here are the key facts about Walther & Söhne:
Foundation and Location: August Walther founded the company in 1888 in Ottendorf-Okrilla, near Dresden, Germany.
Art Deco Style (the 1930s): Walther & Söhne became famous for their extensive range of Art Deco items, including vases, bowls, floral arrangements, and figurines.
Oralit Glass: In the 1930s they produced colored pressed glass under the brand name Oralit. Common colors from that era are amber, violet, sepia (brown), pink, and the rarer malachite (green).
Distinctive Style: Their designs are often characterized by a contrast between matte (satin) glass and glossy glass, or by detailed rose motifs and stylized figures.
After the War: After World War II, the company was expropriated in 1950. Production resumed in 1951 in Siebenstern, Germany.
