Madonna and child, Leerdam frosted glass, Uiterwaal, 1929
The Madonna of Satin Glass, designed by Stef Uiterwaal in 1929, is a beautiful work of art that embodies the Art Nouveau style. This satin glass statue shows the Madonna with baby Jesus. It was the first plastic that was successfully pressed in Leerdam. A year later, the smaller version of the Madonna followed.
Leerdam factory director Cochius approached Uiterwaal to adapt a previously designed Madonna statue for reproduction in glass. Uiterwaal, a renowned sculptor, enjoyed great fame for his figurative sculptures with a predominantly religious subject. The beautiful stylized example offered here dates from 1929 and is a very decorative and stylish collector's item.
The Madonna of Satin Glass is a timeless work of art that reflects the elegance and spiritual meaning of the Art Nouveau period. The artist's mark is very prominently displayed on the back of this special statue.
The complete statue is 24cm long. The base has a diameter of 5cm. It weighs 600 grams. The official hallmark is shown on the back of the base. The statue is in good condition (see photos).
If you are a lover of art and history, this is definitely a valuable piece to cherish!
