This pair of French art-glass vases defines the Art Nouveau style. Rising to a gentle, tapered trumpet from the bulbous base which was characteristic of the style, these vases speak of the delicacy of natural forms which so inspired artists of the day.
Garnet-colored, hand-painted designs with roots in the Rococo, effortlessly reinforce the shape of the vase. They’re accentuated by gold paint which shimmers against the frosted glass. Clear glass adds an extra layer of dimension along the edges of the vases. Thin and delicate, these vases stand at fifteen inches in height. They seem to be untouched by time and continue to represent their origins with pride.
