Art Deco Nude Female Hood Ornament Yellow Uranium Glass with Black Glass Base — 1930s H. Hoffmann

Product detailed description

This uranium glass hood ornament was produced in Bohemia from original period molds created by H. Hoffmann around 1930. It represents a period when sculptural hood ornaments played a key role in defining the style, prestige, and visual identity of luxury automobiles.

The nude female figure reflects the broader French Art Deco aesthetic that shaped European automotive ornament design in the early 20th century. Hoffmann’s sculptural approach shows clear inspiration from the work of René Lalique, particularly in the flowing lines, balanced proportions, and refined modeling of the female form.

Made of yellow uranium glass, the hood ornament displays a strong green glow when exposed to ultraviolet light, confirming its uranium glass composition. This example is mounted on a black glass base, which enhances both its presentation and stability. It is a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of Art Deco design, uranium glass, and historic automotive hood ornaments.
