Description

Technical Description

A very rare late 19th century Art Nouveau glass water jug dating to c1890.

It has a square rim with a clear applied handle to one corner. The entire water jug has a rare internal nut moulding similar to "Nipt Diamond Waies" which is an earlier moulding style primarily from the 18th century.

Over the last 20+ years we have seen a few Cranberry dimple moulded examples with the same rim shape and handle and also a lime green rimmed example, from the same period. Who actually made them, I’m afraid we don’t know as there are so few of them still around. This clear example is a first, and we can’t find any other examples in our library or on line.

A rare piece indeed.

FAQs

Art Nouveau glassware is characterised by organic forms, fluid lines inspired by nature, and asymmetrical motifs that emerged in the late nineteenth century as a rejection of rigid historicism.

Pieces from this period were typically hand-blown using free-blowing or mould-blown techniques, often featuring hand-applied handles and wheel-cut or acid-etched surface details.

Authenticity is identified through characteristic weight, pontil marks on the base, natural bubbles within the glass matrix, and stylistic adherence to period-specific floral or whiplash motifs.

Historic glassware can be integrated by displaying it on open shelving, using it as a functional centrepiece on a dining table, or incorporating it into a curated collection of mixed-era decorative objects.

Antique glass should be washed by hand using warm water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh abrasives or extreme temperature changes to protect the fragile surface structure.
