Vase - Crystal, Tin - Vase with glued metal

It is a glass vase decorated with attached metallic applications.

The body of the vase is made of blown glass, with a marbled appearance in brown-red and cream.

The metal (often tin, sometimes bronze or a low-melting alloy) is glued or cold-set onto the glass, not melted with it.
The vegetal decor (leaves, stems) is typical of decorative techniques from the late 19th to early 20th century.

The technique used is that of glass with an applied metal frame, also called: tin-mounted glass or glass with a pasted decoration. The metal is molded separately, then adjusted and fixed onto the vase.

Very close to the Art Nouveau style (around 1890–1915), inspired by nature.

French and European manufacturers used this technique extensively during this period.
