Description:
Exceptional Art Deco-era claret jug or cocktail pitcher, circa 1930. This striking piece features a tapering hand-blown glass body with a fluted form and elegant emerald-green applied trim running vertically down each corner. The geometric nickel silver (“N.S.”) mounts include a modernist handle, stepped lid, and stylized spout, all with classic Machine Age lines.
The angularity and contrast between glass and metal make this a quintessential Art Deco object—both functional and decorative.
