Vintage Gothic Revival Amber Glass Jugendstil Vase with Pewter Filigree

Make a bold historical statement with this striking vintage amber glass vase, encased in an intricate soft pewter filigree. The standout feature of this piece is the dramatic, openwork metal overlay featuring a Double-Headed Eagle—a classic heraldic symbol historically associated with Austrian, German, and Russian imperial coats of arms. The warm, glowing amber glass contrasts beautifully against the cool, silver-tone metal, which forms ornate scrollwork handles and a footed base in the Art Nouveau revival style.

Likely of Bohemian (Czech) or Austrian origin, this style of "pewter-encrusted" glass was popular in the mid-20th century (circa 1940s–1970s) as a homage to earlier Jugendstil designs. The metalwork is often a soft, pliable lead-alloy (pewter), designed to hug the glass form tightly. It is an excellent conversation piece for a shelf of curiosities, a study, or as a regal addition to a collection of colored art glass.
