Verreries de Scailmont – Art Deco Yellow Marbled Glass Vase – Belgium, circa 1930 No Reserve Price An exquisite Art Deco vase by the renowned Belgian glass manufacturer Verreries de Scailmont, dating from the 1930s. A beautiful example of Belgian decorative glass, combining an unusual sculptural silhouette, sophisticated colour combinations, and remarkable marbled glass decoration. The vase features an elegant, elongated body with gently rounded shoulders, a narrow base, and a beautifully undulating, scalloped rim. Its distinctive silhouette draws inspiration from ancient Egyptian vessels, reflecting the fascination with Egyptian art that profoundly influenced the Art Deco movement following the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922. This historical influence gives the vase a particularly unusual character for the period. Crafted from multilayered glass, the vase combines a luminous yellow exterior with an opaque milky-white inner layer, creating a beautiful contrast that enhances its intricate spotted and marbled decoration. Delicate streaks in subtle amber and smoky tones flow organically across the surface, resembling the natural veining of polished marble or alabaster. The interplay of colour, light, and transparency gives the glass remarkable depth and visual richness. Standing an impressive 29 cm tall, the vase has an elegant and sculptural presence. Its warm yellow colouring and distinctive silhouette make it a wonderful decorative statement, particularly suited to contemporary interiors. The vase is preserved in excellent vintage condition, retaining its beautiful original appearance. A striking example of Belgian Art Deco glassmaking, combining Egyptian-inspired design, sophisticated multilayered glass, and the timeless elegance of 1930s decorative arts.
