About the Item

Exceptionnal Art Nouveau glass vase with bronze overlay, most probably by Loetz or Kralik, circa 1900. Yellow and turquoise-green iridescent glass, with purple reflects. Embedded into a bronze frame decorated with ranking hydrangea flowers. Dimensions Height 10.83 in. (27.5 cm) Diameter 6.7 in. (17 cm) Known also in Europe as Jugendstil or ‘youth style’, the art form began in the 1880s as a result of the Arts & Crafts movement, which rejected the mass-produced techniques of industrialization. Art Nouveau developed a new style of exuberant curving lines, asymmetrical design and elements of fantasy. It took on a wealth of different and at times conflicting orientations, spreading to varying degrees to a number of major European cities, such as Brussels, Glasgow, Munich, Nancy, Barcelona, and Vienna. Originating in France as a decorative art movement in the 1880s and evolving to different forms up to 1914, it is remembered mainly for its richly ornamental, and asymmetrical use of whiplash lines reminiscent of twining plants and organic forms. It reached its highpoint at the 1900 trade fair, the Paris Exposition Universelle. The reason for the development of the Art Nouveau movement was also the cause of its demise. By the turn of the century the costs involved in producing Art Nouveau pieces were very high. The craftsmanship needed to create intricately constructed pieces was prohibitive and the designs were unsuited to manufacture on a large scale. In its pure form in France, the exuberant linear style had run its course by 1905, but elsewhere in Europe in a more restrained manifestation it was more enduring, adopting a prophetic and intellectual energy as it pointed towards modernism.
