Josef Hoffmann (attr.) – Pair of Art Deco-Style Glass Vases – ca. 1920-1930

Pair of glass vases attributed to Josef Hoffmann, one of the most influential figures of early 20th-century design. Hoffmann was known for merging artistic innovation with functional clarity, and his collaborations with renowned manufacturers such as **Moser & Söhne** and **Carl Meltzer & Co.** left a lasting mark on modern decorative arts.

These two vases reflect the **Art Deco spirit** of the period: sleek lines, refined proportions, and luxurious glasswork. While not conceived as a pair, they have been thoughtfully combined here due to their close similarity in form and craftsmanship. Their contrasting colours give them a distinctly contemporary harmony.
