Antique Art Nouveau Green Finger Bowl and Saucer C1900

19th century

Description

A very fine antique Art Nouveau glass Finger Bowl with matching saucer, dating to c1900.

In a fabulous apple green, the bowl has a crimped rim with tight continuous applied threading, which continues down to a polished pontil. Matching saucer with the same design and threading.

A wonderful example which would have been made by one if the top English Stourbridge companies such as Stevens and Williams who's work on decorative threaded tableware is well documented. We can't recall seeing their work in this colour, the norm being pink.

An antique Victorian Art Nouveau blown glass finger bowl and matching saucer, dating to c1900, originating from England. The apple green glass items exhibit horizontal ribbing, a frilled rim with tight continuous applied threading, and a wavy edge on both the bowl and the saucer, while the polished pontil rests at the base. The bowl has a height of 7 cm and a rim diameter of 13.2 cm. Such tableware sits on a sideboard top in a sunlit conservatory to hold water for washing fingers between courses at a formal dining table, or serves as a decorative display piece in a living room.

Finger bowls gained widespread popularity in formal dining during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Designed to allow diners to cleanse their fingertips between dining courses, Art Nouveau examples from around 1900 incorporated naturalistic shapes, organic curves, and coloured glass finishes.

These vessels were typically manufactured from hand-blown soda-lime or lead glass, tinted using metallic oxides such as iron or chromium to achieve a green hue. Surface textures like horizontal ribbing were created using ridged moulds prior to final shaping and frilling by hand.

Authentic period glass often displays minor hand-crafting irregularities, such as snapped or ground pontil marks on the base, slight variations in wall thickness, and tiny enclosed air bubbles known as seeds. The glass colour and organic frilled form also reflect specific manufacturing methods of the era.

Small antique glass bowls can be displayed on a sideboard, open shelving, or a window sill where natural light highlights the translucent coloured glass and textured surface. They also function as decorative accent dishes for small items on console tables.

Hand washing in lukewarm water with mild liquid detergent is recommended, avoiding dishwashers which can cloud glass over time. Soft microfibre cloths should be used for drying to prevent scratching the delicate glass surfaces.
