Art Nouveau Pewter French Embossed Vase, Circa 1890

Antiques : Accessories : French Pewter Art Nouveau Vase

 

Sweetpea Cottage is offering for sale this delightful French Art Nouveau pewter vase done in the Arts and Crafts style of Ruskin. Because of the softness of the pewter, vases like this are seldom found in respectable condition, and almost never found in the U.S. in any condition. This one came directly to us from France. The floral design is done in a repousse, or embossed, technique and has colorful inset glass “stones” adding a touch of color, daintiness and charm to the piece. It stands a tad over 4 ½ inches tall and the base measures 1 3/4 inches by 1 3/4 inches. Its simplicity makes a wonderful artistic statement that will augment the decor in any Arts and Crafts setting. The condition is very good, showing the patina that pewter develops over time. There are the usually minor dings that this type of pewter work always has, with most of the dings coming during the original making of the vase.

If you collect Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil, then this is a piece that you do not want to miss. You can buy with confidence from Sweetpea Cottage.
