ABOUT PRODUCTID 1874
This late 19th-century Art Nouveau vase was produced by Albrecht Koller & Co. in Vienna, as indicated by the maker's signature. The structure is crafted from pewter with a cool, silvery-grey, satin-matte finish and features a removable, clear glass insert at the top with a wavy, irregular edge. The vertically oriented form displays two elongated, arching handles and is decorated in shallow relief with stylized plant and water motifs. The central decorative accent is a sculpted figure of a young girl or elf, seated on the base's edge and listening intently to a shell. The composition's proportions are harmonious, with a broad, rounded base tapering smoothly into a slender neck. The piece remains in very good condition, showing only subtle patina consistent with age, and bears no visible damage or dents; the original retailer's sticker is present inside. The vase embodies the spirit of Viennese Secession—its flowing lines and organic ornamentation merge with the narrative presence of the elf figure. The smooth pewter surface gently reflects light, highlighting the rhythmic movement of the decorative details. In its design, there is a sense of stillness and contemplation, as if the object preserves a moment of attentive listening to the natural world. The ornamentation remains balanced, maintaining a refined lightness despite the elaborate handles and detailed relief. This vase could be placed on a sideboard, console, or marble surface in a living room, where its subtle sheen and organic motifs pair well with a calm, light background. It may be combined with simple glass or ceramic pieces and textiles with natural textures. The piece suits arrangements alongside plants with delicate foliage or graphic
