Uranium Glass Art Deco Turtle Jewelry Box, Green — 1930s H. Hoffmann

Product detailed description

This Uranium Glass Art Deco turtle jewelry box was produced in Bohemia from original period molds created by H. Hoffmann around 1930.
Art Deco decorative glass of this period often combined natural motifs with sculptural form and refined craftsmanship, reflecting broader European trends in decorative arts.

The turtle is modeled with smooth stylized contours and carefully defined shell detailing, forming both the lid and the body of the jewelry box. Balanced proportions and simplified geometry reflect Hoffmann’s mastery of Art Deco design. The sculptural treatment of the animal form shows clear influence from French Art Deco aesthetics, particularly the figurative and naturalistic language associated with René Lalique, while remaining firmly rooted in Bohemian glassmaking tradition.

Made of green uranium glass, the jewelry box displays a strong green glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, confirming its uranium glass composition. This turtle jewelry box is a highly collectible Art Deco piece, prized for its original form, vivid UV reaction, and association with classic 1930s Bohemian uranium glass.
