Description from the seller

Engraved green uranium glass centerpiece stand – floral decoration – 20th century

Description

Elegant green uranium glass goblet, featuring a refined relief decoration with floral motifs and scrolls along the surface of the cup.
The form is harmonious and balanced: a wide, slightly flared bowl, supported by a turned stem with a twisted motif and a stable circular base.
The glass presents the typical emerald-green hue of uranium glass, particularly appreciated by collectors also for its fluorescence under UV light (not tested at auction, but consistent with the type).
A striking decorative object, ideal as a centerpiece, display stand, or interior décor element for vintage and Art Deco revival interiors.
Production attributable to the 20th century, European scope.
