During the Art Deco Period, each country contributed something that was it's specialty in design. Think of Belgian Pottery, French Iron Work, German Silver....but without a doubt, the single most strking thing to be made in Bohemia was the exciting and thoroughly moderne crystal creations. And of all the beautiful glass and crystal, none is more stunning than the work of Karl Palda, a true visionary in his fairly avant garde patterns.

Wonderful French Art Deco Leleu glass vase on metal base

Item #1563

This is quite a nice piece, one does not typically find glass by Leleu, but here is a wonderful transitional piece, probably done around 1925. You have this very ornate floral rim, much like Lalique, Sabino, D' Avsen and other great French glass illustrators of this period. You can see the wonderful play of vertical ribbed glass which completes itself in the deep floral rim, even some of the original red coloring remains on the rim. The other wonderful detail is the base, the metal is designed to look like Galuchat or shagreen. It was certainly the rage at this time.

I have always taken this approach, "buy great design" Also, make note of the highly stylized original art deco on/off switch, haven't seen one like this before
