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

Product detailed description

This Art Deco Victoire hood ornament was produced in Bohemia from original molds designed by H. Hoffmann around 1930 and was intended as an automotive car mascot. Sculptural hood ornaments and car mascots of this period played a key role in defining the identity, prestige, and elegance of luxury automobiles.

The design reflects the broader French Art Deco aesthetic that strongly influenced European automotive ornamentation in the early 20th century. Known as Spirit of the Wind, the Victoire model embodies speed, motion, and aerodynamic elegance. Hoffmann’s sculptural approach shows clear inspiration from René Lalique, particularly in the flowing winged form, refined lines, and balanced proportions, while remaining distinctly Bohemian in execution.

Made of blue uranium glass, the ornament displays a vivid green UV glow, confirming its uranium glass composition. Blue uranium glass represents a rarer and more refined color variant, valued by collectors for its elegant daylight appearance and striking contrast under ultraviolet light. The Victoire (Spirit of the Wind) model is an iconic example of Art Deco automotive design and a highly desirable collectible for enthusiasts of hood ornaments, car mascots, uranium glass, and historic car accessories.
