Pair of Blown Opaline Glass Vases with Romantic Scenes — Art Nouveau (c. 1900)

Antique Porto presents a magnificent and unusual pair of decorative display vases, produced in blown opal glass at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century.

Forming a perfectly symmetrical pair, these pieces stand out for their striking degradé airbrushed effect, which transitions smoothly from a deep chocolate brown at the top to a translucent ivory tone at the pedestal base.

The central medallions display beautiful figurative representations in a romantic style, richly hand-painted, depicting idyllic court scenes. Each reserve is framed by a rich ornamental border with polychrome floral garlands, foliage, and geometric accents.

A set of great evolution and rare chromatic palette in opal glass, ideal for creating symmetry on a fireplace, sideboard, or high-end display cabinet.

• Authentic Pair: The preservation of the original pair with coordinated decorations significantly increases its commercial value and collector interest.
• Artistic Glasswork: The contrast between the opacity of the brown finish and the delicacy of the hand-painting reflects the technical refinement of the early 20th century.
• Condition: Very good overall condition. The glass maintains its structural integrity (no chips or cracks), showing only the natural and slight wear to the paint patina and gold, expected in a piece over a century old.
