a young woman, sculpted in high relief, appears suspended from a flowering branch, her elegant body standing out gently against the deep black background.
the turquoise glaze inside, vibrant like a spring, illuminates the whole with a rare poetry.
every curve, every petal, every subtle movement of the sculpted form embodies the spirit of french art nouveau: a world where nature becomes movement, where the object almost becomes a sculpture.

this spectacular piece—44 cm high—belongs to that category of decorative works capable of transforming a room simply by its presence.

the vase has a slender, almost amphora-like silhouette, resting on a circular, black glazed base. The feminine figure, with its flowing lines and turquoise drapery, is reminiscent of carrier-belleuse's sculptures or the naturalistic style of the école de nancy.
the turquoise interior, enlivened by a network of ancient crackles, adds a luminous depth that contrasts beautifully with the dark facade.
a perfect accent piece for an entryway, living room, or a decorative scheme inspired by the art nouveau movement, école de nancy glasswork, or eclectic modern vintage interiors. This piece has an attribution mark,
