About the Item

“Cornet” vase or “Main” vase late 19th century - early 20th century Art Nouveau purple porcelain vase, representing a hand holding a cornucopia, white enameled flower cone The opening is wavy and well flared. The base represents the cuff of a lace blouse. Very fine and delicate French artisanal work Beautiful finishes Cristallerie Portieux Vallerysthal France - circa 1900 The cornucopia is a mythological object in the shape of a ruminant's horn or newt's shell used by Pluto, the Roman god of wealth and abundance. According to the most popular tradition, the cornucopia adorned the forehead of the goat Amalthea, who fed Zeus in his childhood. Another version instead makes it the horn that Heracles tore from Acheloos (while he was transformed into a bull) during his victory over the river god. The cornucopia is synonymous with an inexhaustible source of benefits. It has also become the attribute of liberality, of public happiness but also of prudence, which are the sources of abundance.
