This is an excellent example of Art Nouveau design at its best! A sinuous, flowing young lady, floating in a Turn of the Century glass panel. The measurements are 59 3/4" in height by 16 1/2" in width. The glass, in excellent condition, was reframed in an oak frame some forty years ago, while the actual panel dates from c. 1910 or even earlier. One is reminded of the figures and designs by Mucha which must have inspired panels like this.
This unusual piece of purple slag glass stands 6 3/4" high and is 3 1/4" diameter at the base. Three footed swans support a flaring rim. This is possibly Sowerby, although it is unmarked. There is one tiny flake on the bill of one of the beak of one swan, otherwise, the condition is excellent. Discoloration around the feet simply means that this piece should have had a bath before it was photographed!
