AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This vase represents a classic example of the European cut crystal tradition, particularly popular between the 1920s and 1940s.
The overlay crystal technique involved applying a layer of colored glass onto transparent crystal, subsequently incised with geometric or floral motifs through wheel-cutting.
The dark blue color was especially prized for its dramatic effect and its ability to create luminous contrasts.
These vases are highly sought after by vintage glassware collectors and Art Deco enthusiasts for their refined craftsmanship and aesthetic impact.
The fan motif was a recurring decorative element in the Art Deco era, a symbol of elegance and modernity.
Such pieces are particularly appreciated by interior designers, collectors of artistic glass, and lovers of the Art Deco style for their historical value, the quality of workmanship, and their ability to enrich contemporary spaces with a touch of vintage refinement.
Actual provenance is unknown.
Excellent condition, with no chips or visible flaws.
GIFT IDEA — A refined and timeless gift, perfect for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and openings.
