ABOUT PRODUCTID 23381
This Art Nouveau wine jug, dating from around 1914, was produced by Legras St Denis Mont Joye in France. The construction features cased, colored glass with a gentle gradient from pale yellow-green at the top to a translucent pink at the base. The body is hand-painted with stylized tulip motifs in shades of red, blue, white, and green, arranged in a dynamic, asymmetrical composition typical of the Art Nouveau period. The handle and hinged lid are crafted from silvery, nickel-plated or bleached brass, finished to a polished gloss. The jug’s silhouette is slender, with a wide, rounded base tapering into a narrow neck. Transitions between metal and glass are smooth and precise. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with no glass damage or signs of repair—only minimal traces of age are visible.This object conveys the spirit of French Art Nouveau, an era when the applied arts became a poetic narrative. The satin-matte glass softly diffuses light, accentuating the organic fluidity of the form. The painted tulips appear to dance across the surface, reflecting the period’s fascination with nature and free-flowing lines. The elegantly curved metal handle recalls the craftsmanship of the Belle Époque. Though functional, the jug tells a story of artistry and daily life intersecting in the refined salons of the early twentieth century.It may be displayed on a console in a dining or living room, where natural light will highlight the gentle sheen of the glass and the vividness of the hand-applied decoration. The jug pairs well with interiors inspired by Art Nouveau—whether among historical furniture or as a focal accent in a contemporary setting. It could
