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

Product detailed description

This hood ornament was produced in Bohemia from original period molds created by H. Hoffmann around 1930. It represents the era when sculptural hood ornaments for vintage cars expressed ideals of speed, movement, and modern elegance through refined figurative design.

The stylized female figure with flowing wings reflects strong French Art Deco influence, which shaped European decorative and sculptural design in the early 20th century. The Flying Lady form is widely associated with luxury automotive mascots such as the Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy, which inspired a whole generation of Art Deco hood ornament designs. Hoffmann’s approach shows inspiration drawn from René Lalique, particularly in the smooth modeling, dynamic lines, and balanced proportions, while remaining distinctly Bohemian in execution.

Made of clear glass, this piece features a subtly matte surface that softens reflections and enhances the sculptural contours of the figure. It is mounted on an integral black glass base, which provides contrast, stability, and visual emphasis. A distinctive Art Deco decorative object combining sculptural design, Bohemian glassmaking tradition, and historic early twentieth-century aesthetics.
