Hollywood Regency Cut Crystal Compote on Portoro Marble Base

Story

Following World War II, there was a massive cultural shift toward 'Hollywood Regency' style—a look that favored glamour, theatricality, and a mix of high-quality materials.

Maker / Origin

While often unsigned, pieces of this caliber were typically produced by specialized European workshops or high-end importers like Abels, Wasserberg & Co. (under the 'Charleton' brand).

Condition & Value

The glass appears clear with no visible 'clouding' or 'sick glass' syndrome. The metal has a pleasing aged patina; however, the buyer should check the sharp mitered edges of the glass and the corners of the marble for 'flea bite' chips, which are common in pieces of this age.
