August Walther & Söhne – “Diana” Cloud Glass Vase – Catalogue No. 31460 – Germany – Art Deco period (circa 1932–1940)

Large and elegant German Art Deco cloud glass vase from the renowned manufacturer August Walther & Söhne, attributed to the “Diana” pattern, catalogue model 31460.

This model corresponds closely to documented Walther catalogues from the 1930s:

* Pattern name: Diana
* Catalogue number: 31460
* Height: 28 cm
* Production period: approximately 1932–1940

The vase is executed in beautiful sepia cloud glass (“Oralit” / “Cloud Glass”), characterized by flowing smoky inclusions suspended within the glass mass. Under UV light the vase shows a distinct manganese reaction, supporting an early 20th century production period.

The form is highly characteristic of German Art Deco design:

* elegant flared rim,
* tapered faceted body,
* sculptural footed base,
* warm sepia coloration with internal feathered decoration.

The vase remains highly decorative both in daylight and under ultraviolet light.

A very collectible example of documented German cloud glass from the Art Deco era.
