1104. A Pair of Art Nouveau Wine Ewers

A pair of enameled cameo glass Art Nouveau wine ewers, each on a silver plate cast base and with a cast collar, handle and hinged lid. The tall tapering shapes are designed with curvilinear vines and fuschia flowers in colors over a clear textured glass. The bases have a slightly rococo design and are marked on the underside with the maker's hallmark "WMFB". The handle, collar and lid are especially well shaped in the Art Nouveau mode, with stylized flowing foliate vines and other elements and a naturalistic bud at the top. They measure approx. 13-1/2"H to the top of the metal ornament.
