Art Nouveau & Art Deco Ceramics & Glass Auction

The picture shows a beautiful antique juice service / lemonade set made of the finest Bohemian glass (also known as the Vienna Secession or Prague Secession). The set consists of a tall, slim carafe (pouring jug) and the six matching drinking cups.
Special features & style
• Era: The ensemble comes from the heyday of Art Nouveau (approx. 1890 to 1910).
• Glass art: This is so-called satin glass (also known as frosted glass or matte glass). The upper part of the vessels remains clear and features a delicate, iridescent mother-of-pearl glaze (lustre gloss).
• Decor: The decoration is applied by hand in an extremely elaborate manner. It consists of relief-like enamel colors (the tangible small flowers in pink and blue) and a splendid 24-karat gold painting in the form of typical, elegantly curved Art Nouveau garlands.

Das Bild zeigt ein wunderschönes, antikes Saftservice / Limonadenset aus feinstem böhmischen Glas (auch bekannt als Wiener Secession oder Prager Secession). Das Set besteht aus einer hohen, schlanken Karaffe (Schenkkanne) und den sechs dazu passenden Trinkbechern.
Besonderheiten & Stilrichtung
• Epoche: Das Ensemble stammt aus der Blütezeit des Jugendstils (ca. 1890 bis
1910).
• Glaskunst: Es handelt sich um sogenanntes Satiniertes Glas (auch Frosted Glass oder Mattglas genannt). Der obere Teil der Gefäße ist klar belassen und besitzt eine zarte, irisierende Perlmuttglasur (Lüsterglanz).
• Dekor: Die Dekoration ist extrem aufwendig von Hand aufgebracht. Sie besteht aus reliefartigen Emaille-Farben (die fühlbaren kleinen Blüten in Rosa und Blau) und einer prachtvollen 24-Karat-Goldbemalung in Form von typischen, elegant geschwungenen Jugendstil-Girlanden.
