Vintage Hollywood Regency Style Brass Swan Vase
This item is a large, decorative Hollywood Regency style flower vase crafted in the shape of two interconnected swans. The piece features a prominent, larger swan with its neck arched forward, which serves as the primary vessel or 'horn' for holding flowers, accompanied by a smaller secondary swan nestled at the front. The vase is constructed from cast brass and displays a warm, golden-yellow metallic hue with a soft, semi-lustrous patina consistent with mid-20th-century decorative pieces. Notable design features include stylized feather detail along the wings and body, and a scalloped rim at the top opening. The construction appears sturdy and heavy, indicating a solid metal casting rather than thin sheet metal. Condition-wise, the surface shows minor areas of oxidation and darkening typical of aged brass, particularly in the recessed lines of the feathering. There are no visible cracks or major dents evident. Pieces of this ilk were highly popular in the 1960s and 1970s and were often produced in Korea or India for the Western market. The craftsmanship is typical of high-end commercial giftware from that era, characterized by smooth flowing lines and a whimsical yet elegant subject matter.
