Uranium Glass Art Deco Three Rearing Horses Figural Ashtray, Blue — 1930s H. Hoffmann

Product detailed description

This Art Deco figural ashtray with three rearing horses was produced in Bohemia using original period molds created by H. Hoffmann around 1930. It reflects the Art Deco fascination with dynamic animal forms, where sculptural glass objects combined strong visual presence with practical decorative function.

The composition features three stylized rearing horses rendered with smooth sculptural clarity and balanced proportions. Flowing contours, simplified anatomy, and rhythmic repetition of the figures demonstrate Hoffmann’s mastery of expressive figural design. The sculptural language shows clear influence from French Art Deco aesthetics, particularly the figurative approach associated with René Lalique, while maintaining a confident and harmonious sculptural presence.

Made of blue uranium glass, the ashtray retains its original functional purpose and displays a characteristic green glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, confirming its uranium glass composition. It is a highly collectible Art Deco piece that combines expressive animal sculpture with refined Bohemian uranium glass craftsmanship.
