Art Nouveau Style Hummingbird and Floral Stained Glass Inlay Vase

This is a decorative rectangular glass vase featuring an intricate Art Nouveau-inspired motif. The piece is constructed from clear base glass with an overlay or inlay technique that mimics the appearance of stained glass leadwork. The design showcases several hummingbirds in mid-flight surrounded by organic, scrolling floral patterns and broad leaf forms. The color palette is vibrant, utilizing translucent shades of sapphire blue, emerald green, and turquoise for the birds and foliage, accented by smaller details in amber and pink. The top rim is finished with a metallic, possibly lead or copper-foil border that provides structural definition. The vase features a tapered form, widening from a square base to a larger rectangular mouth. The craftsmanship displays high attention to detail in the 'caning' or faux-lead lines throughout the surface. The condition appears to be very good with no visible cracks, chips, or significant oxidation on the metallic trim. It represents a 20th-century revival of Tiffany-style glass aesthetics, combining functional vessel form with highly decorative pictorial art.
