Art Deco Victoire Hood Ornament Yellow Uranium Glass — 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 and was intended as an automobile mascot. Sculptural hood ornaments of this era played a key role in defining the identity and elegance of luxury automobiles.

The Victoire hood ornament was originally created by Lalique. This piece was produced in Bohemia from original period molds. The design reflects the broader French Art Deco aesthetic that strongly influenced European automotive decoration in the early 20th century. The Victoire model, known as the Spirit of the Wind, embodies speed, movement, 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 retaining a distinctly Bohemian execution.

Made of yellow uranium glass, the ornament displays a vivid green glow under UV light, confirming its uranium glass composition. The Victoire (Spirit of the Wind) model is an iconic example of Art Deco automotive design and a highly sought-after collectible for enthusiasts of hood ornaments, uranium glass, and historic automotive accessories.
