ABOUT PRODUCTID 111
This early 20th-century water carafe and glass set embodies the Art Nouveau style in decorative utilitarian glassware. Crafted from blown glass, the set features a color gradient that transitions from clear at the top to a cool blue at the base, evoking the calm surface of water. Both the carafe, with its gently flared neck, and the slightly conical glass are adorned with hand-painted motifs: a stylized gold swan and orange-accented reeds. The artistry is precise—the painted sections have a subtle satin sheen, while the upper, undecorated glass remains glossy. The overall design is simple and geometric, with smooth surfaces emphasizing the object's functionality. This set is an example of early 20th-century Bohemian glass craftsmanship and the organic, decorative vocabulary of Art Nouveau. It is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage, chips, or signs of restoration; the painted decoration remains intact and vibrant.The form of this set tells a story of European parlors and winter gardens, where natural inspirations permeated everyday objects. The swan gliding across a blue surface and the delicate reeds recall Art Nouveau's fascination with organic lines and ornamentation borrowed from the landscape. In the glass, the early 1900s are reflected—a time when craftsmen paid tribute to nature, granting each element its own symbolism and rhythm. The set seems to whisper of mornings with water placed on a bedside table, of moments suspended between utility and poetic gesture.The carafe and glass can be displayed on a sideboard or within a glass-fronted cabinet, where the subtle blue gradient and golden details find their visual frame.
