Ingrid Glass Buddah Statue by Curt Schlevogt and signed Hoffman Jewelry Box

Although I do enjoy a lot of the glass designed by Curt Schlevogt, and Heinrich Hoffmann, I don't per se collect it. That said, I have over the years managed to put together a small collection of Ingrid glass either acquiring inexpensive or rare and/or unique pieces. This being the latter for sure! A black glass dual tray jewelry box, with gold gilt ormolu metal work, adorned by an impressive little Buddha statue. It's a beautiful Asian inspired design, and each black glass jewelry tray is signed with the Hoffmann butterfly.

I acquired the larger Schlevogt Ingrid glass Buddha from an old glass collection back east years ago, along with a few other pieces of Ingrid glass.

Whether this was designed by Hoffmann for Schlevogt, or it was sold via another venue is unknown. I attended a wonderful exhibition in Jablonec nad Nisou in 2012 that featured Hoffmann and Schlevogt glass, and I didn't see this piece when I went through the exhibition photos. I'll check the exhibition book I purchased at the exhibition, although as I recall it was all the same pieces that were in the exhibition.
