Art Deco Blue Satin Glass Compote EPNS Silverplate c.1930

Authentic Art Deco blue satin glass compote, dating to the late 1920s–1930s, mounted on a substantial EPNS silver-plated pedestal base, and retaining its original period construction. The bowl is formed in translucent blue satin (acid-etched) glass, prized for its soft matte glow and elegant light diffusion. The wide flared rim and shallow profile are classic Art Deco design elements, emphasizing symmetry, balance, and refined luxury. The base is clearly stamped EPNS (Electro-Plated Nickel Silver) and bears a period circular maker’s mark, consistent with continental European decorative silver production of the era. This confirms the piece as quality silverplate, not polished aluminum or later reproduction. The pedestal features stepped architectural shaping and decorative band detailing, reflecting the streamlined yet ornamental aesthetic that defined high-end decorative objects between the wars. These glass-and-silver mounted compotes were produced as luxury centerpieces for formal dining rooms, salons, and consoles, and were often sold through upscale retailers rather than mass-market outlets. ⸻ Measurements • Rim diameter: approx. 11.75 in / 29.8 cm • Overall height: approx. 6.25 in / 15.9 cm • Base diameter: approx. 5.5 in / 14 cm ⸻ Condition • Glass: Excellent — no chips, cracks, or repairs • Satin finish: Even and vibrant • Silverplate: Light, honest age wear consistent with period EPNS • Structurally solid and display-ready ⸻ Collector Notes • Confirmed EPNS silverplate, period-correct • Authentic Art Deco construction and materials • Desirable blue satin glass in large display size • Strong crossover appeal to Art Deco, glass, and silver collectors ⸻ Use & Display Ideal as: • A centerpiece or console bowl • Art Deco or eclectic interior focal piece • Designer prop or collector showcase object Dupont and Landsdowne
