Classic example of an Art Nouveau or Jugendstil glass and Silver Plated vase from the late 19th or early 20th century (circa 1890–1910).

Key Design Elements

• The Metal Framework: The vase sits within an intricate, organically structured metal frame made silver-plated white metal. The long, sweeping metal arms display classic whiplash curves and stylized Oriental Fans at the top.
• The Glass Body: The central vessel is made of opaque white opaline or milk glass. It features a distinct blue glass trim running along the bottom rim where the sleeve meets the base, providing a sharp pop of accent color.
• The Central Imagery: The center of the glass features a detailed grisaille or sepia-toned portrait depicting a courting couple dressed in late 18th-century (Rococo period) attire. This nod to historical romance was a popular decorative theme for household accent pieces during the Belle Époque era.
• Maker: The Stand is marked on the Base 2540 Mf’d & Plated by Reed & Barton.
