This 34 cm Art Nouveau glass ewer by Pallme-König & Habel was made in Bohemia around 1900–1905 and is in good used condition with minor signs of age and spots.
Description from the seller
For sale: An exceptionally large and rare Art Nouveau (Jugendstil / Secession) ornamental vase / ewer by the renowned Bohemian glass manufacturer Pallme-König & Habel (Glasfabrik Elisabeth, Teplitz), made circa 1900–1905.
This museum-worthy object stands an impressive 34 cm tall, making this particular example especially sought after by collectors of early art glass.
The vase was made using Pallme-König’s iconic, patented “threaded/cocooning” technique. Glass threads (trails) were applied crisscross over the glowing glass body and blown into the mold, creating a deep veined texture. The glass has a beautiful metallic iridescent sheen (Chine finish), with a stunning play of color that shifts in the light from deep purple / aubergine at the top to mysterious green and blue toward the bottom.
The glass is set in a highly ornate, asymmetrically cast metal mount (zamak / spelter) with flowing floral motifs characteristic of the heyday of Art Nouveau. The underside features the original cast-iron ballast plate and central connecting rod for stability.
Condition report:
In absolutely perfect condition. This object is over 120 years old, and it is extremely rare to find an example of this size in such condition. Everything is completely intact:
• No chips, cracks, or hairline fractures in the glass.
• The delicate applied glass threads (trails) are fully intact.
• No hidden defects where the glass meets the metal collar or base.
• The metal has a beautiful, authentic aged patina.
Specifications:
• Manufacturer: Pallme-König & Habel (Bohemia / Czech Republic)
• Period: Circa 1900–1905
• Style: Art Nouveau / Jugendstil / Secession
• Height: 34 cm
• Weight: Approx. 1.7 kg
• Signature: Unsigned (as is always the case with Pallme-König from this period; the model and decoration are fully documented).
Will be very carefully packed (double-boxed) and shipped by registered / insured mail.
