Soliflore vases, 1900s

A charming pair of small bud vases dating from the early 20th century, around 1900. The bases are made of patinated spelter, depicting a dog and a cat, each holding a horn to hold the glass tube. The glass containers are made of yellow-tinted blown glass with a white enamel floral motif and scalloped rims. These lovely decorative objects are typical of the Belle Époque, perfect for showcasing a single fresh flower, a miniature antique rose, a sprig of lily of the valley, or a refined dried stem. Their small size makes them very decorative—ideal for a console table, bookcase, pedestal table, or bedside table.
