A RARE VAL ST LAMBERT CAMEO GLASS LANDSCAPE VASE

Although the Belgium factory of VAL ST LAMBERT is famous for its dramatic overlay glass, opaque cameo glass scenes such as this as very rare.

Other Glass Houses          Art Deco Glass. Bimin 1st

AN ART DECO LAMP BLOWN GLASS FIGURE BY ISTVAN KOMAROMY ~ Often wrongly attributed to Bimini.

This is a fine example of a Bunsen burner lamp blown glass figure of a girl with trumpet by Istvan Komaromy made from Opaque white glass for the figure with black glass trumpet on a Venetian style glass ball base.

These figures were, until recently, attributed to Bimini, but Bimini's work is more simple in style (or more stylish) and never has the details, such as breasts on the females, that Komaromy put into his figures.

Komaromy was an Hungarian, born in Germany in 1910. By the age of 20 he had already won gold medals for his work and his exhibit at the 1931 World Fair elicited the praise "the Michelangelo of Glass" from none other than Mussolini.
He visited London in 1935 and was filmed at 'Harrods' making his figures.(click to see film) He moved to London in 1937, married an English girl, and set up a studio in Croydon in 1939. He continued producing figures until his death in 1976.

All Komaromy pieces are unsigned but later examples are recorded bearing a silver embossed label.

RARE CZECHOSLOVAKIAN ART DECO PERFUME BOTTLES DESIGNED BY HEINRICH HOFFMAN AND CURT SCHLEVOGT FOR THE 'INGRID' COLLECTION



THE CZECHOSLOVAKIAN ART DECO PERFUME BOTTLE IN HOLLYWOOD

Heinrich Hoffman and his son-in-law H G Curt Schlevogt were prominent designers and makers of extreme Art Deco vanity glass products in Czechoslovakia with outlets throughout Europe. When Max Factor first imported their perfume bottles to Hollywood in the late 1920's the bottles immediately caught the attention of Cinema Art Directors and it was not long before they began to appear on every stylish Art Deco movie set in Hollywood.

In 1939, MGM released a film called 'The Women' staring Joan Crawford who played a man-chasing, perfume counter shop assistant. The film required a perfume bottle to be the focus of important scenes and the Art Director used an undistributed Schlevogt bottle (coincidentally named 'The Woman' ) from the 'Ingrid' collection to represent the film's fictitious fragrance 'Summer Rain'. The props department produced 'commercial presentations' of the fragrance by adding a plastic umbrella, labels and ribbons to the bottles.

The MGM Studios made gifts of the bottles as publicity for the film and at least two versions of the bottle are known, one a clear glass square and the other a smoky obelisk shape, both with the crystal nude stopper. Unfortunately, there is no record of a complete 'Summer Rain' presentation surviving.

'The Woman' bottle was one of the last Schlevogt designs to come out of Czechoslovakia. When the Germans occupied the country in 1939 the output from the glass houses was greatly reduced and virtually all exports ceased.
