This Art Nouveau glass vase originates from Austria around 1900 and represents the distinctive Medici decor by Loetz. The piece takes a baluster form featuring a flared rim, a rounded body, and a polished surface finish with no visible makers marks. The blown glass showcases an iridescent bronze-toned ground overlaid with organic fluid forms, showing metallic blue and gold drip trailing that creates a maximalist aesthetic. The glass exhibits subtle surface highlights and shimmering tones across the curved contours of the vessel. Standing at 20 cm high, the compact scale makes it well suited for display on a mantelpiece or side table within a living space or cabinet. The decorative presence complements traditional and eclectic interior schemes alike as an ornamental table piece.

Art Nouveau glass is characterised by sinuous, organic shapes inspired by nature, iridescent surfaces, and fluid decoration techniques created through metallic oxide applications.

Artisans utilised hand-blown glass infused with metallic salts, such as silver or tin chloride, which were exposed to fumes or reducing flames to produce a luminous, lustrous surface finish.

Authentic pieces display distinct decor patterns such as Medici or Phanomen, ground and polished pontil marks on the base, and occasionally etched or engraved factory marks, though many remained unsigned.

Position the vessel where natural light highlights the iridescence, such as on a window sill, mantelpiece, or dark timber sideboard to emphasize its metallic tones and organic contours.

Hand wash gently using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges, harsh chemical cleaners, or extreme temperature changes that may induce thermal shock.
