Art Deco Eagle Head Hood Ornament Blue Uranium Glass — 1930s H. Hoffmann

Product detailed description

This blue uranium glass Art Deco hood ornament was produced in Bohemia from original period molds dating to the 1930s, designed by H. Hoffmann, and was originally intended as an automotive hood ornament. The use of blue uranium glass gives this example a distinct visual character while preserving the classic Art Deco form.

In developing this model, Hoffmann was inspired by the work of René Lalique, whose sculptural approach strongly influenced European automotive ornament design of the period. The design reflects the broader French Art Deco aesthetic that defined the visual language of luxury car mascots in the early 20th century.

The sculptural modeling of the eagle head, with its stylized feathers and powerful profile, exemplifies this refined decorative tradition. Under ultraviolet light, the blue uranium glass glows vividly green, confirming its authentic uranium glass composition. This hood ornament represents an Art Deco automotive mascot and is a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of Art Deco design, uranium glass, and historic car accessories.
