The orchid, one of the most depicted flowers in Art Nouveau. The orchid was the symbol of femininity and sensuality and was associated with the idea of luxury and exoticism. It was also seen as a symbol of love and beauty.
The rich color shades and romantic shapes on the bowl make it a real eye-catcher in your interior! When the light shines through the bowl, a beautiful effect is created.
The satin finish of the vase is thanks to a process by the French glassmaker and furniture designer Émile Gallé. Applied glass contains an etched representation with different colors between two layers. This is applied with a special paint. After immersing the image in acid, the second layer of color can be 'etched away'. This process can be further repeated until the third color layer.
