Just about the loveliest Art Nouveau vase - ever! Made c1898 by the Austrian company of Reissner & Kessel, and designed by the famous Eduard Stellmacher, winner of the gold Medals in the Paris and Chicago exhibitions at the latter end of the 19thc, for which showcase this vase was designed. The sinuous, organic curves interact with the ethereal romance of the sylph-maiden. Here undercurrents flow through the composition, as the beguiling nymph seems to survey impassively the fluttering dragonflies caught in the encompassing web. Is she the spider metamorphosed? Or is she merely the impassive observer of the circularity of nature? Does that enigmatic smile represent anticipation or resignation? Whatever the answer may be, the enigma remains calmly encapsulated within the work of art. Iris leaves and buds writhe and coil around the foot as living things, rearing up the sides to the explosion of open blooms at the neck where the maiden poses delicately, slender fingers in a balletic gesture, bare feet revealed from the edges of the shimmering gossamer gown. Fully marked to base with stamped crown, circular stamp, lozenge stamp Amphora and model and decorator's number 799 and 26.
Condition: Excellent
Dimensions: 18.5" high
