This antique Brockwitz vase, known as the "Curved Star" model, is a striking example of early twentieth-century carnival glass. The piece is defined by its rich cobalt blue base glass, which has been treated to produce a highly iridescent, multi-coloured surface finish characteristic of the era.
Produced in Germany, the vase features a complex pressed glass pattern combining geometric stars, diamond motifs, and vertical fluting near the rim. Measuring 24.5 centimetres in height, the vessel demonstrates the intricate mould-making techniques employed by the Brockwitz glassworks. The iridescent finish displays a spectrum of tones, shifting between deep blue, purple, gold, and green depending on the light source and viewing angle.
The vase remains in good vintage condition, retaining its structural integrity and the vibrancy of its iridescent coating. The pressed pattern remains crisp, and the scalloped rim is well-defined, reflecting the quality of its original manufacture.
This piece serves as a compelling decorative object for collectors of antique glass or those seeking to introduce a focal point of historical design into a contemporary setting. Its reflective qualities make it particularly effective when positioned to catch natural or directed light.
