French Art Nouveau Uranium Glass Bottle with Applied Amber Leaves, c. 1900

Crafted in France at the turn of the 20th century, this Art Nouveau bottle features a clear glass body adorned with applied amber glass trailing leaves and scrolled feet. The material contains uranium oxide, revealed by a strong green fluorescence under UV light, a highly collectible characteristic of the period. The front bears the acid-etched inscription "Paris France" in cursive script, indicating its origin as a high-quality export piece or Grand Tour souvenir. The organic, free-form application of the glass decoration exemplifies the naturalist aesthetic of the era. It serves as a decorative vessel or decanter.
