Additional Information : The original grape harvest pattern was designed by Heinrich Hoffman and produced by Hoffman & Son in the 1920s and 30s. In the 1950’s art deco revival this iconic vase was produced in the original moulds. Later versions by Desna have acid etched marks. We have sold one original 1930s example and this differs only in that the “flash” lines are a little more pronounced. the weight and density remain the same.
