Rare Signed Heinrich Hoffmann Art Deco Czech Glass Salt Cellars Intaglio Pair For Sale

Up for sale is a remarkably rare, matching pair of authentic vintage Art Deco clear glass open salt cellars, designed by the celebrated Bohemian artist Heinrich Hoffmann circa the 1920s–1930s. This stunning collector\'s set is guaranteed 100% authentic, featuring Hoffmann’s signature molded open-winged butterfly hallmark crisp and clear on the corner of the glass.

The cellars are framed by a deeply faceted geometric rim accented with a stylized Art Deco wave-and-leaf relief pattern, perfectly capturing the luxury vanity aesthetic of pre-war Czechoslovakia craftsmanship.
