Lorraine-Nancy School Iron and Glass Vase, Circa 1930s
Lorraine-Nancy School Iron and Glass Vase, Circa 1930s — Hand-Blown Art Deco Elegance
This exquisite vase is a superb example of the Lorraine-Nancy school, dating from the 1930s and exemplifying the fusion of decorative artistry and expert craftsmanship characteristic of the region’s finest work. Hand-blown from vibrant mottled glass in rich tones of orange and white, the form is gracefully encased in a wrought iron framework, giving the illusion that the glowing glass is emerging from within the structure itself.
The interplay between the molten glass and the geometric iron overlay creates a powerful sculptural presence. The contrast between the organic fluidity of the glass and the sharp, angular iron design is distinctly Art Deco, yet infused with the expressive soul of the French modernist movement.
Signed and of exceptional quality, this piece is both a collector’s item and a sculptural work of art—perfect for display in a refined interior or an Art Deco-focused collection.
