This elegant 20th-century silver-plated brass vase is embellished with a unique and versatile two-piece modular structure.

Subject and Style: The object is clearly inspired by the dictates of the Art Nouveau (Liberty) style. The main body consists of a smooth and clean cylindrical container. The true distinctiveness of the piece lies in its removable decorative base: a veritable "shirt" of finely perforated metal and shaped like an intricate tangle of vines and ivy leaves in relief, softly enveloping the lower part of the cylinder.

Material and Finish: Crafted entirely of silver-plated brass. The design plays on the refined visual contrast between the smooth, reflective surface of the inner cylinder and the complex, dark, three-dimensional sculptural workmanship of the plant-motif base.
