ABOUT PRODUCTID 23118
This Art Nouveau creamer, dating from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, is crafted from brass plated with silver, reflecting the era’s attention to detail and ornate design language. The vessel is shaped like a spirally twisted shell, with pronounced vertical fluting that accentuates its organic, flowing form. The handle is a striking, oxidized detail, intricately cast as a stylized butterfly perched on a swirling, plant-like motif. The base is wide, round, and stepped, providing stability, while the main surface presents a cool, gently warm silver tone with a soft, matte finish, subtle patina, and minor darkened spots typical for antique silver-plated pieces. The creamer measures 10 cm in height, 14 cm in length, and 8.5 cm in diameter. It is preserved in very good condition, showing only minor signs of age without damage or repairs; all elements, including the handle and base, remain original and authentic.The shape of this creamer tells the story of the Art Nouveau period, when inspiration from nature and asymmetrical forms responded to the industrial world of the late 19th century. The spiral shell and butterfly handle evoke meadows and gardens captured in metal, while the subtle patina recalls decades of attentive use. This vessel seems to whisper of a time when every object in the home was both an artistic statement and a participant in daily rituals.The creamer could be paired with antique porcelain as well as minimalist contemporary ceramics to highlight its organic lines. It would fit seamlessly into a classically furnished dining room, but would also complement an eclectic collector’s interior as a functional accent on a breakfast table or a decorative piece on a console. Combining it with neutral-toned tableware or simply shaped glassware would allow the creamer’s natural ornamentation to stand out against a calm backdrop.
