Art Nouveau vase, green glass, silver mount, United Kingdom, early 20th century

An Art Nouveau vase made of pressed glass, crafted in the early 20th century in the United Kingdom. It features a slender, elongated shape that narrows towards the top. The dominant visual feature is a light, semi-transparent green that intensifies towards the base, creating a distinct colour gradient. The glass surface is adorned with vertical, grooved facets running the entire height, resulting in subtle light refractions and highlighting the material's smooth gloss. The broad, elaborate base is styled with organic, plant motifs characteristic of Art Nouveau. The upper rim is finished with lightly patinated silver, adding a noble metallic detail. The use of pressed glass technique allowed for precise reproduction of intricate patterns at the base. The vase is in very good condition, with no visible damage or repairs, retaining full authenticity and original character. The form of this vase expresses the language of Art Nouveau—a style that, at the beginning of the 20th century, was inspired by the lines of blooming lilies, slender stems, or leaf bulges. The glass in shades of fresh green or turquoise evokes landscapes illuminated by British sunlight, while the silver mount subtly reflects the fascination of designers of the era with the nobility of material and light. This vase would be best displayed on a light wooden console or an openwork shelf in an interior inspired by eclectic-historical or collector's Art Nouveau trends. It can be paired with period jewellery or a mirrored tray to reflect the silver, or placed next to ceramics with organic forms for a fluid dialogue of styles. The vase pairs well with plants with light, trailing stems, but also stands out as a decorative accent in a classic or modernist living room.
