Presenting a magnificent, large Art Nouveau bowl, a true masterpiece by the renowned manufacturer Josef Rindskopf and Sons. Made in their once famous factory in Teplitz-Schönau, this exquisite piece brings all the beauty and innovation of Art Nouveau to your home.
Created at the turn of the century, the bowl is characterised by its squat form held by a stand base, a traditional method that provides both stability and a visual counterbalance to the piece's eccentric design. The low, projecting wall section with a recessed shoulder and heavily scalloped, overhanging rim adds to the unusual silhouette of this artwork, making it a striking focal point in any collection.
This impressive example of mouth-blown glass is in a transparent glass decorated with a multi-coloured marbled relief overlay and iridescent luster. This technique, known as "iridescence", was often used in Art Nouveau and gives the glass a seductive, pearlescent shimmer that changes colour depending on the incidence of light. The flat domed breakaway adds an extra touch of uniqueness and character.
Made by Josef Rindskopf and Sons, a glass manufacturer founded in 1890 and known for producing some of the finest glassware of the Art Nouveau era, this bowl is an impressive example of their craftsmanship. The entire bowl exudes the typical flair of Art Nouveau, which is an escape from the strict symmetry of Victorian style and a move towards natural, flowing forms.
Condition of this bowl is excellent, making it a valuable addition to any collection of art and glass objects. It is a rare example of the beauty and innovation that the Art Nouveau era produced, and is certainly a piece that will continue to be admired and appreciated for years to come.
