This impressive vase is executed in an elegant tall trumpet form, with a gracefully elongated body rising from a rounded foot and culminating in a dramatically flared rim. The surface displays a vibrant and richly varied blue-green iridescent ground, beautifully enhanced by a pulled feather and mottled pattern that creates remarkable depth and movement throughout the glass. The coloration transitions subtly from deep, saturated blue tones toward the lower portion of the vase to increasingly vivid green and turquoise hues around the upper body and rim. The changing colors and shimmering surface create a particularly captivating effect as the vase is viewed from different angles or illuminated by natural light.
Adding further interest to the design is a raised applied decorative element that encircles the lower neck, providing a subtle sculptural contrast to the fluid patterns of the iridescent glass. The combination of the tall trumpet silhouette, rounded foot, vibrant coloration, and intricate surface decoration gives this vase a strong and elegant presence, making it an exceptional decorative object for a mantel, console, pedestal, or collection of fine European Art Nouveau glass. Standing approximately 17.5 inches high, 7 inches wide, and 7 inches deep, its impressive scale allows the extraordinary coloration and surface pattern to be fully appreciated. The underside bears an etched maker's signature. The vase is in good overall condition, with minor surface wear consistent with age and use. It has no chips, cracks, or repairs. See less
