The "Ingrid" vase by Heinrich Hoffmann is an Art Deco vase remarkable for its high-relief decoration depicting bacchantes (female mythological figures of Bacchus), usually depicted in a dynamic procession or dance. Heinrich Hoffmann (1875-1938) created these vases in molded, blown, cut, satin-finished, patinated and polished crystal, often under the name "Ingrid". These vases are renowned for their detailed, sculptural figures in transparent or colored pressed crystal, particularly in light shades of green or amethyst. These vases showcase a refined Art Deco style, creating a striking visual effect through technique and design.
Francisek Pazurek was a glassmaker and designer associated with the "Ingrid" collection of Art Deco glassware, which included works by designers such as Heinrich Hoffmann and Schlevogt. He contributed to the creation of vases and glass pieces, renowned for their distinctive design and high-quality workmanship during the Art Deco period.
A broader historical context links the name Pazurek to research and synthesis in the field of glass art history, particularly as regards Bohemian glassworks, with a notable figure: Gustav E. Pazaurka (perhaps a variant or related name), who published a seminal work on the subject in 1923.
These pieces are listed in works such as Giuseppe Cappa's "Le génie verrier de l'Europe", testifying to their importance in European glass art.
