This monumental Art Deco floor vase by Anatole Riecke stands as a testament to the era's grandeur. Crafted from intricately etched [insert color here] glass, the surface explodes with a captivating interplay of geometric forms, a hallmark of the Cubist movement. Riecke's subtle signature and date, discreetly etched into the design, add a touch of historical significance to this impressive piece.
Important Provenance: Part of the iconic Art Deco glass work at La Coupole Brasserie in Paris, a legendary haunt of artists and intellectuals during the 1920s and 30s, this vase offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of French artistic history. Imagine this beauty gracing the same space as Josephine Baker, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Picasso, who once frequented La Coupole.
Standing at a striking 34.75 inches tall and 10.5 inches in diameter, this substantial vase makes a true statement piece.
Its bold geometric design and rich artistic heritage make it a coveted addition for any serious collector.

Anatole Riecke was a Russian-born artist who settled in Paris and worked there through the Art Deco years. He is best known for engraved and cut glass in a cubist idiom.
Between 1930 and 1937 he was responsible for the Art Deco glass decoration of the restaurant La Coupole in Montparnasse, and pieces of his are dated to those years.
Riecke is thinly documented compared with his contemporaries, and dates for him vary between sources. We state what the piece itself carries — signature, engraved date — and mark the rest as opinion.
