ABOUT PRODUCTID 3947
This Art Nouveau biscuit barrel, dating from 1900–1905, exemplifies early 20th-century decorative glass craftsmanship. Made from opaline (milk) glass, the vessel displays a subtle color gradient—pale yellow near the rim gently fading to milky white at the base. The hand-painted floral motif features large blooms in burgundy, deep red, and white, with yellow centers and green leaves, all rendered in the flowing, naturalistic style characteristic of Art Nouveau. The fittings—a flat, nickel-plated brass lid with a rounded knob and a hinged swing handle—show a soft patina and age-appropriate signs of use. The silhouette is softly rounded, tapering slightly toward the base, lending the piece an organic, harmonious presence. The condition is very good: the glass is free from chips or cracks, while the metal elements display moderate, time-consistent wear. This biscuit barrel carries the spirit of the Art Nouveau era—a period where flowing lines and nature-inspired motifs shaped the everyday object. Its opaline glass surface softly diffuses light, conjuring the mood of early 20th-century salons, where hand-painted flowers and delicate brass details invited a sense of gentle refinement. The interplay of nickel-plated metal and nuanced color tells a quiet story of afternoon gatherings, where such a vessel would have offered a touch of artistry to daily rituals.
