Striking Scailmont Marbled Art Deco Glass Vase, Documented Model, ca. 1930s

A striking Art Deco vase produced by the Belgian Verreries de Scailmont during the 1930s, showcasing the manufactory’s mastery of decorative marbled glass. Its elegant, architectonic silhouette is defined by a gently flared rim, a series of bold concentric rings encircling the body, and a softly tapered foot — a design that perfectly captures the sculptural simplicity and balanced proportions of the Art Deco period.

Entirely hand-blown, the vase is executed in a luminous golden-amber glass enriched with spectacular marbled veining in warm caramel, smoky brown, and subtle bluish-grey tones. The swirling inclusions flow naturally through the glass, creating an organic landscape reminiscent of polished agate or natural stone. Tiny air bubbles and delicate internal variations further emphasize the handmade character of the piece, making every example unique.

This model is documented in the official Scailmont sales catalogue of the 1930s (model no. 123) and is also illustrated in the reference publication Les Verreries de Scailmont à l’époque Art déco, dedicated to the history and production of the renowned Belgian glassworks. The inclusion in both the original factory catalogue and modern scholarly research confirms the authenticity and historical significance of the design.

The restrained geometric form contrasts beautifully with the lively marbled decoration, resulting in a piece that feels both architectural and organic. Whether displayed with flowers or appreciated as a sculptural object in its own right, the vase possesses a timeless decorative presence that complements Art Deco, Mid-Century, and contemporary interiors alike.

The vase is presented in very good vintage condition, with no major chips or cracks. Minor air bubbles, internal striations, and subtle manufacturing irregularities are inherent to hand-blown artistic glass and should be appreciated as evidence of its handcrafted production and authenticity.

Scailmont glass ( Verreries de Scailmont) in Belgium, is renowned for its exquisite Art Deco and Art Nouveau designs. Founded by Henri-Raphaël Hirsch, (who had established the “Saint-Laurent Glassworks” a few years earlier) in 1901 in Manage, the factory specialized in molded and satin-finished glassware, featuring intricate etching, enameling, and sandblasting techniques. Collaborations with renowned designers such as Henri Heemskerk and Charles Catteau brought international acclaim, particularly after the 1925 Paris Exposition.

Scailmont’s products, including vases and tableware, were often marked with the factory’s name or designer signatures, making them highly collectible. The company also partnered with brands like Boch Frères and Val-Saint-Lambert

Despite industry challenges, Scailmont remained a key player in Belgium’s glass industry until it merged with Durobor in 1976 and ceased operations in 2000. Today, Scailmont glass is prized for its elegant designs and fine craftsmanship.
