This late 19th-century vase is an early example of Art Nouveau, produced within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Crafted with a combination of materials, it features an opalescent, milky-white glass collar, ruffled and widely flared, merging into a tall, slender neck of clear, subtly iridescent, faceted glass. The base is made from patinated copper or bronze, with a soft, concave profile and a satin matte sheen in golden-brown tones. At the foot, the visible, handcrafted junction between glass and metal testifies to its artisanal origins. The overall composition aims for verticality and lightness; the decorative, sculpted rim conjures organic, floral inspirations so significant to the Secessionist style. The vase remains in very good condition, bearing only minimal signs of ageing to the metal and no visible damage or repairs to the glass.The form of this vase “speaks” to the era when nature became an artistic muse: the vibrancy and optimism of the late 19th century are translated into organic glass modeling and the gentle, flowing contours reminiscent of a flower opening towards the light. The surface of the glass quietly reflects its surroundings, glowing with changing opalescence as the angle of light shifts; the ruffled rim seems to undulate like a soft iris petal. The delicate patina of the metal foot tells a story of dignified ageing—implying the vase might once have adorned a Viennese salon or a palace conservatory.This variety of Secessionist glass is at home in representative interiors: it could be displayed atop a low
