Description: MEASURES:Height: 3,94 inch; Diameter: 3,35 inchCONDITIONS:Excellent general conditions. Item description:Wonderful black opaline glass vase made in full Deco style by Josef Hoffmann, the famous Austrian artist, in the very first decades of the 20th century.Useful information for the evaluation of the object:In the last photos we have placed some vases, in black opaline glass, very similar to ours, one 21 cm high, therefore larger than ours, priced at €1,300 - 2,500, and a pair of a size more similar to ours, priced at €1,200 - 1,800 , to which auction fees of 28-30% should then be added. All to give an idea of the value of this type of vase.Final thoughts on the subject:The beauty and greatest value of the object lies, in our opinion, above all in the perfection of the lines, the upper cup is repeated very similarly in the lower base always in the shape of a cup, slightly smaller and upside down. A perfection of execution in creating a perfect shape, of great elegance, in glass.Information on artist and/or manufacturer:Josef Franz Maria Hoffmann (Brtnice, 1870 – Vienna, 1956) was one of the major Austrian architects, active between the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. Hoffmann is considered one of the greatest ceramists and artists of the Viennese secession, he founded the Wiener Werkstatte together with Moser, another famous Austrian artist, and absorbed Michael Powolny's Wiener Keramik, with whom he collaborated for many decades. In 1987 the Museum für angewandte Kunst (MAK) in Vienna organized an exhibition in his honor. The museum still today presents a permanent exhibition of his works and special exhibitions on the architect and his contemporaries are also conceived. In the last photos we have put some biographical notes taken from Wikipedia. ENTER OUR EBAY SHOP.PORCELAINS, CERAMICS, TERRACOTTE, BRONZE, PAINTINGS, FURNITURE, GLASS AND MUCH MORE AS, FOR EXAMPLE: OUR COMMERCIAL POLICYAware of operating in the eBay market, our prices are often lower than the real value of the object, as often documented in our descriptions, and also lower than the prices at which very similar objects are offered on other online art sales platforms and antiques. At the same time, eBay reciprocates with the possibility of selling a high quantity of objects, so our commercial policy is to earn little for the single object, but sell a lot and therefore earn on the quantity. In fact, the asking price is always as low as possible, considering how much the item was paid for and the eBay commissions (for the sale, payment and any currency exchange: from a minimum of 15% to a maximum of 21% , according to the country in which the advertisement was made). For each object there may be multiple advertisements in different countries: USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc. Any price differences are due only to changes in the exchange rate of the various currencies between when we made the advertisement and when you see it.

SHIPPING WORLDWIDE - RETURN ALWAYS ACCEPTEDThe cost of packaging is also calculated in the shipping cost, and everything has increased by 19% because both ebay and paypal also take fees on the shipping cost. OUR SHIPMENTS:.Our shipments cost a little more than the average, but they are all shipments with professional packaging. Double box with a lot of bubble wrap around the object and a lot of soft material in the large cavities on all sides between the two boxes. This means that the package is much larger and heavier and therefore the cost of shipping increases, not to mention all the work necessary to carry out a similar packaging and the cost of the various materials used.
