Very rare black Modernist Glass Vase made and signed by HEM circa 1930. Enamel and silver leaf is used to create striking designs with a brilliant Bauhaus palatte and modern point of view. The stamp on the bottom is "tcheco-slovaque", which indicates that it was made in Czechoslovakia for the French and Belgian markets. HEM vases are black glass, embellished with silver leaf and strong colors in geometric patterns. This is one of the finest pieces of Czechoslovakian glass I have seen in the 10 years of specializing in crystal and ceramics of this period.

Measurements:
13" T X 6.5" W (top) 7.5" W (bottom)
