Description

A striking example of 1930s British Art Deco glass design, this tall Davidson “Hellas” vase captures the elegance and sophistication of the inter-war period. Its slender, elongated silhouette rises gracefully from a substantial faceted base to a beautifully flared, softly undulating rim.

The vase is crafted in an enchanting amethyst-purple tinted cloud glass, with translucent smoky variations flowing organically through the body. The marbled, cloud-like appearance creates changing shades of mauve, brown and violet as light passes through the glass, giving every angle a distinctive character.

Its sculptural form is unmistakably Art Deco—bold yet elegant, with clean vertical lines, a tapered body and a dramatic flared mouth. The substantial geometric foot provides both stability and visual balance, while the irregularly waved rim adds an attractive organic touch to the otherwise streamlined design.

Davidson glass is particularly appreciated by collectors of British 20th-century decorative glass, and examples of Davidson Art Deco “Cloud Glass” continue to feature in specialist vintage-glass collections and marketplaces.

This tall “Hellas” vase would make an exceptional display piece in a traditional, Art Deco or contemporary interior. It can be showcased on its own as a sculptural decorative object or used as an impressive statement vase.

A beautiful survivor from the glamorous Art Deco era—where craftsmanship, colour and form came together to create objects of enduring decorative appeal.
