An American Silver and 14 Karat Gold Double Vase, Circa 1900
About the Item
A remarkable example of turn-of-the-century American silverwork, this double vase in silver and 14-karat gold reflects the heightened influence of Japanese design aesthetics in the West at the fin de siècle.
Formed as a pair of joined trumpet vases, the piece is acid-etched with delicate branches of blossoming prunus, their sinuous forms stretching gracefully across the silver surface in an organic composition that evokes both restraint and vitality. The blossoms, finely rendered, echo the seasonal symbolism of Japanese art—ephemeral beauty and poetic transience.
Each vase rests on a raised foot, the base rims encircled by strapwork bands enclosing stylized lotus blossoms, a subtle yet deliberate nod to Eastern spiritual symbolism. The understated use of 14-karat gold highlights, subtly applied to selected details, adds warmth and contrast, enhancing the textural elegance of the etched decoration.
Made by Sweetser & Co., New York, a firm known for their innovative and artistic silver designs, the vase is fully marked on the base, indicating its American origin and precious metal content. It stands as a fine testament to the fusion of craftsmanship and artistic vision characteristic of Aesthetic Movement silver at the turn of the century.
A rare and refined object, this vase is a testament to the era’s fascination with the East and the innovative fusion of cultures in American decorative arts.
