Art Deco Flying Lady Hood Ornament Blue Uranium Glass with Black Glass Base — 1930s H. Hoffmann

Product detailed description

This Art Deco Flying Lady hood ornament was produced in Bohemia from original period molds designed by H. Hoffmann around 1930. It reflects the period when sculptural hood ornaments served as expressive automotive mascots, symbolizing speed, motion, and modern elegance.

The stylized female figure with flowing wings shows strong French Art Deco influence that shaped European automotive ornament design in the early 20th century. This iconic Flying Lady form is closely associated with luxury automotive mascots such as the Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy. Hoffmann’s sculptural approach reveals inspiration drawn from René Lalique, particularly in the smooth modeling, elegant contours, and balanced proportions, while remaining distinctly Bohemian in execution.

Made of blue uranium glass, this example is mounted on a black glass base, transforming the original hood ornament design into a refined display piece suitable for interior presentation. Under UV light, the uranium glass exhibits a vivid fluorescent reaction, confirming its authentic composition. A striking collectible combining Art Deco design, uranium glass craftsmanship, and historic automotive ornament heritage.
