Rare and striking pair of vintage Art Deco etched glasses attributed to Belgian designer Paul Heller for Booms Glass / Artver.
These elegant glasses feature beautifully executed frosted acid-etched decoration depicting Eve seated beside the serpent and tree of knowledge, accented with rich gold banding at the rim and foot. The imagery and craftsmanship are highly characteristic of Continental European Art Deco glass from the 1920s–1930s.
Research revealed closely related examples sold through Invaluable / Zwiggelaar sales and attributed to Paul Heller (1914–1995), a noted Belgian designer associated with Booms Glass and Artver.
