ABOUT PRODUCTID 12643
This antique Art Nouveau tea glass holder, crafted from silver-plated brass by Norblin in Poland at the beginning of the 20th century, displays organic lines characteristic for the Art Nouveau movement. The main hue is a cool, matte silver with a subtle satin finish. The surface features two prominent embossed grape clusters with intricately modelled leaves, separated by an openwork composition that grants the piece its lightness. The robust, wide base is balanced by the cylindrical body, while the handles echo the vegetal theme with their ornate curvature and detail. All components remain original and unaltered, without signs of later repair. A natural patina, some darkening, and touches of wear appear, in keeping with the age and gentle use. The overall condition is good, consistent with the object's authenticity.This tea holder seems to tell the story of an era when form and function found harmony in both decorative and practical details. The seasonal grape and leaf ornaments, captured in high relief, reflect the late 19th- and early 20th-century fascination with the subtle beauty of botanical motifs. It's an item that might have accompanied evening tea in Warsaw parlours, where lamplight would softly play across the matte metallic surface, highlighting the fluid contours of its sinuous design. The gentle traces of use are testament not of loss, but of the everyday rituals that have shaped its presence.Within a living or dining room composition, such a holder could be paired with delicate porcelain or cut glassware, underscoring the airy, openwork silhouette. For contrast, it can be placed on dark wooden trays or alongside silk
