Cup for candies in iridescent painted glass and gilded bronze - France, 1900-1920
Cup for candies of circular shape, in molded green glass with iridescent reflections in golden, bluish and purplish tones. Fluted body, bulbous profile, with wavy rim and polychrome enamel decoration, depicting blossoming branches in white and blue, dark leaves and gold accents.
Sits on an elaborate gilded bronze base, in a naturalist-inspired design, formed by interlaced and twisted stems, grapevine leaves and four feet open in scrollwork. The junction between the cup and the support is enriched with ram head reliefs, giving the piece a markedly decorative character in the historicist taste.
Elegant and unusual exemplar of French decorative arts from the late 19th century, suitable as a candy dish, centerpiece or ornamental bowl.
