AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The two vases in the photo are French Art Deco vases made of uranium glass (ouraline) with a relief decoration of chrysanthemums, made around 1930.
The most important details about these vases:
• Material: Matte yellow pressed glass containing uranium oxides (also called ouraline or vaseline glass). This type of glass is known for glowing bright green when illuminated with a UV lamp (blacklight).
• Design: A globular shape with a dense, detailed relief of flowers (chrysanthemums) and leaves. This specific design is often attributed in professional circles to French glass producers from the Art Deco period, such as Joma (Verrerie Joseph Bourdieu & Max Durand).
• Features: They have a height of about 21 centimeters and a neck of 7 cm.
• Rarity: While loose vases of this model occasionally appear, an exact matching and undamaged pair (as in the photo) is considerably rarer and highly sought after among antique glass collectors.
The two kinds of photos were taken with different lighting.
