This Austrian serving dish from circa 1920 exemplifies refined craftsmanship in the spirit of late Secession and early Art Deco. The construction combines a cool, silvery metal—likely silver- or nickel-plated—with thick, cut glass. Two removable inserts, shaped as stylized hearts and faceted at the base, gently refract light. The minimalist metal frame, resting on four spherical feet, accentuates the piece’s airy silhouette, while the elegantly arched handle ensures comfortable carrying. Its proportions (17 cm high, 30 cm long, 11.5 cm wide) create an elongated, slender form. The condition is excellent, with no visible damage, tarnish, or signs of wear. This dish seems to echo the voice of an era when utility and ornament coexisted seamlessly. Its geometric lines and transparent glass tell a story of Viennese parlors in the 1920s, where applied arts enhanced the daily ritual of social gatherings. The heart shapes suggest not only an attention to detail, but also a quiet gesture toward guests—as if the dish itself invited the sharing of delicacies and conversation. The metallic sheen and the interplay of light on the faceted glass introduce a note of restrained elegance—never ostentatious, yet perfectly aware of its historical context. The piece could serve as a centerpiece on a dining or living room table, where its glass hearts stand out against a white tablecloth or dark wood. It would pair well with 1920s porcelain or simple, geometric tableware, harmonizing with both eclectic and classic interiors. To further evoke Vienna’s turn-of-the-century taste, one might combine it with a silver sugar bowl or
