Art Deco Powder Blue Frosted Walther & Sohne Schmetterling Glass Vase c1930's AF
One of the most stunning vases of the Art Deco era. A heavy and well made powder blue glass vase. Made by Walther of Germany. Pattern is known as "Schmetterling" or Butterfly in English.
Features a woman in a classical sweeping dress with her arms spread. The folds of the dress spread out to encompass the pattern within the vase. Almost like a butterflies wings spreading open. She stands barefoot on a mound of spring flowers.
This design is mirrored on both sides of the vase. This is a very large and heavy vase.
One of the rarest vases to find. These vases tend to suffer from damage owing to their size and design and this is no exception. There is a 2.5cms deep sliver on the underside rim of one corner. A few very small nibbles and slivers off the base and some air bubbles and vintage wear in the glass.
I think you may be able to smooth out the chip but you can still display it well. Shown in the last few pictures.
Can be displayed with the damage more to the back. A true talking point item.Dimensions - 32cms wide at the top, 22 cms high, 19cms wide, 17cms deep across the top rim.
