Art Nouveau Opaline Glass Bowl with Gilt Metal Mount

Late 19th – Early 20th Century

Elegant Art Nouveau decorative bowl featuring a delicate light-blue opaline glass body mounted within an ornate gilt metal frame. The finely crafted mount displays graceful scrollwork, stylised floral motifs, and flowing naturalistic forms characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement.

The soft translucency of the pale blue opaline contrasts beautifully with the richly ornamented metalwork, creating a refined and highly decorative piece. The original aged patina of the gilt metal has been preserved, enhancing its authenticity and period charm.

Equally suitable as a centerpiece, fruit bowl, decorative dish, or display object, this piece embodies the elegance and artistic sophistication of the turn of the 20th century.
