An amazing piece of Deco!
I'm having a hard time seeing the glass here? can you do a shot of the rim? this looks like cloisonne from the pictures shown. It's an absolutely fantastic vase! I love it.
All glass,no cloisonne;I thought so, but everything is made of glass,even the base.The rim is polished glass and gilded.
made of metal. WMF 1930
Bohemian 1930 glass made by HEM and exported to France;
Keyword to Google: hem glass

Common wrong attribution to French manufacturer but the same glass:

Exactly the same shape in the link bellow;the Bohemian manufacturer HEM exported it to Belgium and France and now most of this glass is considered French unless signed Czechoslovakia. Some of the pieces are common in decor but rare examples were made under strong influence of Bauhaus and cubism (like this one posted here) and extremely well executed. A completely unknown field of Bohemian glass and an important find; this is the BEST art deco glass made in Czechoslovakia, as agreed by several experts.Judge for yourself; Bauhaus +cubism + excellent craftsmanship = real piece of art.
