This exceptional piece is a definitive example of 1930s French Art Deco "Boule" or ball-form glass, a style that perfectly captures the high-energy, avant-garde spirit of the Jazz Age. As designers transitioned away from the soft, flowing curves of the Art Nouveau period, they began to embrace a more disciplined "Machine Age" aesthetic. You can see that shift here in the bold, architectural precision of the vessel. Crafted from thick, high-quality molded glass, the vase consists of softly frosted glass that gives it a sophisticated, satin-matte finish. This specific surface treatment is essential to the design; it catches and diffuses light in a way that creates deep, dramatic shadows and highlights across the intricate relief patterns, making the geometry feel incredibly tactile. The design itself is a sophisticated exploration of cubist-inspired forms. It features a complex, highly dimensional landscape of interlocking motifs, including sharp vertical lines, layered angular squares and rectangles, and perfectly symmetrical stacked circles. This rhythmic pattern covers the entire spherical body, leading up to a classic flared upper lip and resting on a stable, flat base. This silhouette would have served as a striking centerpiece in a stylish Parisian salon during the interwar years and remains just as impactful in a modern interior today. While the vase is unsigned, its specific molded technique and decorative language are strongly attributed to the renowned Vianne glassworks, or Verreries de Vianne...

Honorio Garcia Condoy (b. Honorio Garcia, 1900, Zaragoza, d. 1953 Madrid) figurative sculpture in carved stone depicting a faceless virgin (ca. 1930s). A contemporary and close friend of Picasso, Condoy drew a lot of inspiration from the shapes and composition of Cubism. Though this particular sculpture is from a body of work heavily influenced by Roman churches and symbolism. The half-standing, half-sitting Virgin, the flat heads, the erased faces - these attributes of Roman art are all present in this piece. The featureless, flat-skulled virgin figure enveloped in a self-embrace is perched in a half-sitting/half-kneeling pose. This piece is from a well-documented series (near identical example is seen on page 91 of Raymond Creuze's "Honorio Condoy"). Unsigned. Excellent, vintage condition with light patina/scattered light scratches, but no damage/losses. H: 37.5" x L: 12 x D: 14" Reference: Raymond Creuze "Honorio Condoy" (French, 1973). Reference book is included with the sculpture. From the collection of a prominent French collector whose London flat...
