Vintage & Rare Sowerby Art Deco 1930s Pink Glass Tripod “Daisy” Vase

A charming example of British Art Deco glass, this vintage Sowerby “Daisy” vase showcases the distinctive elegance and sculptural character of 1930s pressed glass design. Beautifully formed in a delicate pink/peach-toned glass, the vase features an unusual and highly decorative tripod form, giving it a striking architectural silhouette.

The upper section is richly decorated with raised daisy flowers, leaves and botanical motifs, while the scalloped rim adds further refinement. The sides display an attractive combination of floral relief and bold geometric, fan-like facets—an unmistakable expression of the Art Deco fascination with combining nature-inspired decoration with strong geometric forms.

Its three-legged construction is particularly appealing, creating a dramatic transition from the broad floral rim to the narrower, sculptural base. Light passing through the translucent pink glass beautifully highlights the moulded details and faceted surfaces.

Produced during the 1930s Art Deco period and associated with Sowerby of Gateshead, England, this vase represents the period’s love of innovative forms, decorative glass and stylised botanical designs.

More than simply a flower vase, it is a decorative piece of British glass history, equally suited to an antique glass collection, Art Deco interior, display cabinet or elegant mantelpiece.

A wonderful collector’s piece for admirers of Sowerby glass, Art Deco design and vintage British pressed glass.
