Na aukcję trafia wysoko dekoracyjna i wyjątkowo duża waza Art Deco z czarnego szkła. Została zaprojektowana i zdobiona przez francuskiego mistrza Michela Hermana pod jego słynnym podpisem HEM (Verreries d'Art de HEM), pochodzącym z około 1930 roku.

Standing at an impressive and rare monumental height of 32.5 cm, this exhibition-sized vase is a magnificent showcase of luxury period craftsmanship. It is made of heavy black hyalith/opaline glass and decorated with bold geometric bands of silver overlay and stylized cloud patterns. The vase is filled with a striking turquoise enamel that masterfully imitates the texture of shagreen (ray skin), a highly prized luxury material in high-end Art Deco interiors.

Authenticity & Marks:
The base features the authentic acid-etched country of origin mark ("Tchecoslovaquie"), proving the high-quality Bohemian glass blank was imported to Paris to be hand-decorated in Herman's atelier.
