Art Nouveau Legras-style Enameled Glass Bowl with Pewter Overlay

This is a distinctive Art Nouveau period art glass bowl, likely of French origin and reminiscent of the work of François-Théodore Legras. The bowl features a globular, squat body made of thick, frosted 'ice glass' (or 'verre givré') which gives the substrate a textured, pebbled appearance. It is elaborately decorated with hand-painted enamel botanical motifs, specifically stylized holly leaves in bold cobalt blue and vibrant yolk yellow, set against an abstract gold-toned lattice pattern. A significant feature of this piece is the ornate metal rim, likely made of pewter or a similar white-metal alloy, which incorporates a 'monture' or mount. This mounting features four decorative cast leaf-and-vine appliques that drape over the side of the glass, characteristic of the transition between Art Nouveau and early Art Deco design. The glass itself appears to be in good condition without visible cracks, though there is minor surface wear consistent with an age of approximately 100-120 years. The metal overlay exhibits a natural age patina, showing darkening in the recessed areas of the casting. The interior reveals the white base of the glass, suggesting it may be cased or heavily enameled. This combination of glass and metalwork was highly popular in European decorative arts between 1895 and 1915.
