Need Help in Identifying an Art Deco Perfume Bottle

The last day the Chris and I were on the road of our “freakin’, tiquen’ summer, 2015” trip we stopped at Mohawk Antiques Mall, in Mohawk, New York. While there, Chris picked up this perfume bottle. The tag said “Czech glass?”, it has the attributes of Art Deco Czech / Bohemian glass that we have seen, especially glass items created by Karl Palda in the 1930’s.

 

The best on-line resource for Karl Palda that I have come across is Karl Palda Inspirations. Here are some pages from a 1938 catalog that is on that site.

 

 

 

While the perfume bottle has a similar look to the items in the catalog, we are just not sure if it actually is a Karl Palda design. So we are asking our readers if you have any ideas or if you can point us to any leads to ascertain just who or what company made this bottle.

Announcing a new section of Driving for Deco, the Reference Library. This is a page dedicated to vintage articles about modern design. In addition to the article, some advertisements from the same magazine will appear with it.

 

New Metal Furniture For Modern Schemes, from the April, 1930 issue of House & Garden is now available in PDF form in the library.

 

We hope you enjoy the new section and find it useful in your hunt for Art Deco.
