The bulbous body, narrow neck, and flared collar rim are characteristic Desna forms, while the high-relief pressed butterfly and foliate motifs covering the body are among the most recognizable patterns in the Schlevogt canon. The malachite effect — a deep hunter green with internal lighter-green striations — was achieved through a specialized pressed-glass formula that mimicked the look of natural malachite stone. Dating to approximately 1930–1945 based on form, technique, and documented auction records for comparable Schlevogt Bohemian pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth vases in very good vintage condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo chips, cracks, or repairs observed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinor surface wear consistent with age and handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe malachite glass finish and relief decoration are crisp and intact on both pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA matched pair — well-suited for symmetrical display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Desna \/ Schlevogt glassworks, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Art Deco, circa 1930s–1940s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Pressed malachite glass (opaque green with internal striations)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecoration: High-relief pressed butterfly and floral motifs; polished relief against matte-satin background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Globular body on foot ring, narrow neck, flared collar rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMark: \"DESNA\" stamped on base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a matched pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt Deco and Bohemian glass collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMantelpiece or shelf vignettes — especially effective displayed as a symmetrical pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreen-palette interiors or maximalist, jewel-toned rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA gift for the vintage glass or Czechoslovakian art glass enthusiast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBud vases for a single stem or small dried botanicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesna malachite glass occupies a special place in 20th-century decorative arts — an affordable luxury of the Art Deco era that brought the look of precious stone into the bourgeois home. The butterfly motif, rendered in bold low-relief across the globe of each vase, has a totemic, almost animist quality that sits well alongside both period Art Deco interiors and contemporary maximalist design. As a matching pair with confirmed maker's marks, these vases represent a particularly collectible find.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baldhead World of Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48378308362446,"sku":"MKM1016A","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"SAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/2828\/4622\/files\/DSC_8028.jpg?v=1789857782","url":"https:\/\/baldhead.world\/en-ae\/products\/czech-desna-malachite-glass-butterfly-vases-pair","provider":"Baldhead World of Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
