Iridescent Glass Vase With A Silver-plated Metal Floral Mount, Art Nouveau – Circa 1900

Iridescent glass vase with a silver-plated floral mount, Art Nouveau – circa 1900. This refined baluster-shaped vase is crafted from blown glass decorated with delicate twisted ribs in amber tones with iridescent reflections, typical of Art Nouveau glassmaking. The narrow neck and generous body are enhanced by a finely worked silver-plated floral mount featuring sinuous stems, flower buds, and a large, fully opened flower applied as an appliqué. The overall effect evokes the naturalistic style of the late 19th century, reminiscent of the creations of Lötz, Kralik, or the Nancy glassworks. The elegant metal structure poetically highlights the transparency and iridescence of the glass, which displays a subtle interplay of gold, pink, and violet reflections depending on the light. This vase is a testament to exceptional glassmaking and ornamental craftsmanship. Work probably from Central Europe or France, circa 1895–1905.
