How do I identify Art Nouveau glass?

Art Nouveau pieces rely on flowing, organic lines inspired by nature, frequently featuring floral, insect, or landscape subjects rendered in cameo or iridescent glass. Look for undulating contours and naturalistic colour palettes of orange, green, and purple that mimic plant growth.

What defines Art Deco glass vases?

Art Deco vessels display geometric precision, stylised animal motifs, and symmetry, contrasting sharply with earlier organic styles. They frequently utilise heavy moulded crystal, frosted surfaces, and contrasting stain work to accentuate the architectural form.

Where should I display heavy crystal vases?

Heavy crystal and cameo vessels require stable, flat surfaces away from high-traffic edges where accidental knocks might occur. Placing them near natural light sources allows frosted and opalescent qualities to catch and diffuse illumination effectively.

How do I care for antique glass?

Wash glass pieces by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing tools or abrasive cleaners that scratch soft surfaces. Dry them immediately with a lint-free cloth to prevent water spots from forming on etched or enamelled details.
