Pink Glass Centrepiece Set, Arabella, Walter and Sohne, 1930s
A centrepiece set formed from frosted and clear pink glass comprising a figure of a lady, semi nude, her flowing drapery exposed to reveal her body, a dolphin at her rear and a pierced circular base below to act as a ‘frog’ or flower holder together with a scalloped edge dish with pointed corners and a turnover rim with pressed decoration of fish and waves.The influence of Art Deco style of this piece is clear and it does indeed date to the 1930s. The model, termed ‘Arabella’ can apparently be seen in the 1934 catalogue of the German glass manufacturers Walther and Sohne, founded by August Walther in 1888 at Ottendorf-Akrilla near Dresden. In the 1930s the firm was famous for its Art Deco designs and also produced a version of ‘cloud glass’ which at one time was held to be exclusive to the English manufacturer Davidson. But some of the English glass makers also drew on their German rival’s work such that Walther and Sohne patented some of their designs in the UK in 1937, presumably to protect their work. This centrepiece set is a classic example of Walther and Sohne’s pre war productions and a distinctive example of Art Deco glassware.
