Carl Meltzer & Co. - attributed to Josef Hoffmann - Vase (2) - Crystal, Glass

Josef Hoffmann, a revered name in design history, skillfully merged artistic expression with functional aesthetics, propelling his career through groundbreaking collaborations with glassworks manufacturer as Moser & Söhne and Carl Meltzer & Co. Among his notable achievements are this pair of Art Deco-style glass vases, design from around 1920, embodying the movement's celebration of modernity, sleek lines, and luxurious materials. These vases, crafted with precision by skilled glassblowers, exemplify the dynamic essence of Art Deco. While debates exist among scholars and connoisseurs regarding their precise alignment with the style, their true origins and place within Hoffmann's body of work await further examination. Nonetheless, Hoffmann's collaboration with Moser and Carl Meltzer & Co., Langenau bei Haida, left an indelible mark on the design world, with these vases serving as intriguing artefacts that continue to captivate diligent researchers and passionate collectors. Needless to say, we've composed the pair, they do not originally come as a pair, but normally they would come either as identical pair, or singular. Nevertheless, we've decided to combine them, for the similarities in shape and craftsmanship, while different in colour, made them more contemporary, in our opinion. Please examine the photos well, although both vases are in good vintage condition, they would have reasonable wear and traces of use and time Size: H 24,5 cm D 9 cm & H 23,5 cm D 9 cm Both vases are in a very good vintage condition, with reasonable wear consistent with normal use and age. --- Check out my profile for much more retro vases! Please pay attention that shipping costs are including packaging, insurance and tracking, to the best of my knowledge. I try to describe all the items as accurately and as honestly as possible, and I always include photos of the actual items. Please keep in mind that I am not an expert but an enthusiastic collector. I do my best to research the item and its history and pass that information, so if you know anything of interest that I have not included, I am always interested in learning. Vintage or pre-owned items will often show some signs of wear due to their age, and there may be something I overlooked. There can be naturally occurring manufacturer's defects, slight surface scratching, or wear consistent with normal use and time. Any condition outside normal vintage wear, like serious defaults, will be noted and/or clearly visible on the photos. Most importantly: this is a transaction between a private seller and a private buyer of secondhand items, so no refunds or returns are accepted, nor any claims of guarantee or similar services.
