Centrepiece - iridescent, iridescent glass, Brass - Figure

Art Nouveau jardinière with iridescent hand-blown glass and figure – approx. 1900

An exceptionally decorative and characterful Art Nouveau object from the early 20th century, executed in the typical Jugendstil formal vocabulary.

The piece features a richly decorated metal mounting with a beautiful patina, in which an elegant female figure and refined floral ornamentation are integrated. The natural aging gives the whole a warm and authentic appearance.

The object is equipped with an original, hand-blown glass insert in a deep blue color. The glass shows a distinct iridescent (oil-slick) sheen, visible under different lighting conditions — a technique characteristic of high-quality glass from the Art Nouveau period.

The lightly irregular, organic edge of the glass confirms the artisanal manufacture and contributes to the unique character of the piece.

Provenance: probably Central Europe (Bohemia / Austria)
Period: approx. 1890–1910
Condition: good condition with normal signs of use consistent with age

A particularly decorative and collectible object that perfectly reflects the essence of Art Nouveau.
