AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Signed Martin – Vaas with Orientalist desert decor • circa 1920–1940
Satin-finished glass with hand-painted silhouette decor.

A small, atmospheric vase with typical interwar orientalism, made of frosted glass with a warm gradient from ochre to terra. The surface is hand-painted with a dark brown outline, depicting a silhouette composition of a dromedary among palm trees, dunes, and tents in the evening light. The name Martin, likely that of the decorator, is handwritten into the landscape.

The vase fits within the popular souvenir and interior production of French and Belgian ateliers during the period 1920–1940, often sold in coastal and port cities (Nice, Marseille, Ostend, Antwerp) and inspired by the great orientalistic enthusiasm in art and design during the interwar period.

Dimensions
8.5 cm high
5.5 cm diameter (moon)

Technology:
Frosted/sandblasted glass with polychrome brush painting in contours.

Condition:
Good condition with light signs of use appropriate for age.

Origin
Private collection, Europe
