Frosted pressed glass vase with relief roses – Art Deco style, c. 1930–1960

Frosted pressed glass vase with roses – Art Deco style

A tall baluster vase in frosted glass (also called satin glass or matt glass) with an all-round relief of roses and leaves. The vase was pressed in a mould and then given a matt finish, so the glass glows a soft milky white. A flared neck with a ring and a broad, sturdy foot complete the shape. This type of vase with floral relief was made in Czechoslovakia, France and Belgium from the 1930s onwards and remained in production into the 1960s.

Why we chose this piece

The best thing about this vase is the way light plays through it: the roses seem to rise out of the glass. With a few branches or a bunch of white roses in it, it is a classic that never goes out of fashion.

Style and interior

Suits an Art Deco, romantic or country interior, on a sideboard, mantelpiece or windowsill, where daylight brings out the relief. Also lovely grouped with other white or opaline glass.
