ABOUT PRODUCTID 13576
This early 20th-century Polish Art Nouveau tea glass holder, crafted from silver-plated brass, is a testament to the era’s refined approach to ornamentation and craftsmanship. The basket presents a delicately pierced, openwork design, with swirling organic lines, stylized flowers, and intertwining stems forming an asymmetrical, nature-inspired composition. Its handle stands out as a sculpted, arching branch ending in a finely detailed flower, while the entire piece rests on a solid, circular base accented by stepped rings. The dominant color is a deep, antiqued patina, mingling areas of silvery sheen with warm, bronze-like hues where the surface has aged. Mostly matte with highlights on worn edges, the piece bears subtle abrasions and gentle surface variations. It remains in good vintage condition – the present patina, gentle discolorations, and absence of repairs or significant damage affirm its authenticity and careful preservation.This tea glass holder quietly channels the spirit of its era: a time when inspiration from nature became central to decorative arts and daily rituals. The secessionist lines flow like living tendrils, and the handle—resembling a freshly cut garden branch—whispers of refinement in every detail. The interplay between matte patina and reflective silver captures the soft glow of turn-of-the-century salons, suggesting an ambiance where light drifted through steam and settled on intricate metalwork.The basket may be paired with a floral-patterned porcelain cup, a cut crystal coaster, or a simple silver teaspoon to emphasize its botanical Art Nouveau
