Art Deco Horse Head Hood Ornament Uranium Glass with Black Glass Base — 1930s H. Hoffmann

Product detailed description

This Art Deco horse head hood ornament was produced in Bohemia using original period molds designed by H. Hoffmann around 1930. It reflects the era when sculptural hood ornaments were created as expressive automotive mascots, symbolizing speed, strength, and elegance.

The sculptural horse head form shows strong French Art Deco influence, which shaped the visual language of European automotive ornamentation in the early 20th century. Hoffmann’s sculptural approach demonstrates inspiration drawn from the work of René Lalique, particularly in the smooth modeling, flowing lines, and balanced proportions, while remaining distinctly Bohemian in execution.

Made of yellow uranium glass, the hood ornament displays a vivid green glow under UV light, confirming its uranium glass composition. This example is mounted on a black glass base, enhancing the visual contrast and sculptural presence of the piece. As a horse head hood ornament car mascot, this piece is a highly desirable collectible for enthusiasts of Art Deco automotive design and uranium glass.
