ABOUT PRODUCTID 19775
This round pressed glass bonbonniere exemplifies the distinctive Art Nouveau (Viennese Secessionist) design language of the 1930s. The clear, colorless glass with a cool tone forms a compact, low, cylindrical shape with walls of even thickness. Its surface is adorned with a geometric pattern consisting of raised diamond shapes and large, faceted oval motifs, repeated on both body and lid for a cohesive, highly ornamental effect. These patterns refract light, creating a dynamic play of brilliance and shadow. The lid is secured with a hinge and clasp made from smooth, silvery metal—likely nickel or chrome-plated—unadorned and highly polished, bringing a sense of order and refinement to the intricate glasswork. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of use, chips, or restoration. The glass remains clear; all elements are original and consistent with the era, showing no significant patina.In this bonbonniere, one can hear the voice of late European Art Nouveau—its clarity and form echo the ambitions of designers who sought to elevate daily objects into sculptural statements. The pressed glass, alive with light, evokes an era when sunlight played on faceted surfaces and geometric motifs blurred the boundaries between utility and ornament. This object seems to recall the everyday elegance of a 1930s Antwerp salon: technical craftsmanship and attention to detail grounded in the spirit of the age—transparency, simplicity, and ornament in a harmonious combination.The bonbonniere could be paired with geometric-framed mirrors or other pressed glass vessels to emphasize its highly reflective character. It would suit a console in a vintage-inspired living room, a bedroom dresser, or serve as
