🐉 RARE Vintage Art Deco Asian Glass Holder – Nude Woman Handle – Dragon & Pagoda Enamel – 183g

🔍 Exceptionally Rare Collector’s Find

This vintage metal glass holder is an extraordinary example of mid-20th-century design — a dramatic fusion of Asian symbolism, Art Deco erotica, and export-era craftsmanship. It features an elaborately pierced body with a coiling golden dragon, red lacquer-style bridge, pagoda temple, and delicate cherry blossoms — all hand-painted in enamel. But what makes this piece truly rare is the handle sculpted in the form of a nude female figure, gracefully curved and stylized in classical Deco fashion.

Unlike typical podstakannik or tea glass holders, which often feature sober architecture or industrial motifs, this piece dares to combine sensual Western forms with traditional Eastern themes — a bold artistic statement seldom seen on the market.
