About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
A prestigious centerpiece in thick pressed glass, an authentic masterpiece from the Croatian manufacturer STS Abel Zagreb (United Glassworks), produced between the late 1920s and early 1930s. This piece stands out for the extraordinary color rendering of the Lithyalin (or Marmorite) technique: a swirling "Onyx" pattern in deep black, amber, and cream tones that emulates the grain of natural agate with incredible realism. The design, an icon of Central European Art Deco taste, combines a flared body with a scalloped edge with a solid fan-shaped base, embellished with two rare sculptural handles depicting stylized doves. An object with a strong visual and tactile impact, perfect as a statement piece in elegant interiors or to enrich a collection of vintage glass. Technical Details: Manufacturer: STS Abel Zagreb (Croatia / United Glassworks). Period: 1927–1941 (Art Deco). Material: Thick marbled glass (Onyx Glass). Dimensions: Height 15.8 cm | Top diameter 19 cm | Base diameter 12 cm. Weight: 1.4 kg (significant material consistency). Condition: The item is in excellent vintage condition; the glass retains an exceptional luster and depth of color. Collector's note: There is a small chip on the top edge, clearly documented in the detailed photos. The selling price already takes this sign of age into account, which in no way compromises the structural integrity or the extraordinary aesthetics of the piece.
