Russian fruit pot made of heavy crystal and silver, in the form of a female figure - the Alkonost bird.
Russian fruit flowerpot-biscuit bowl made of solid crystal and 84 silver, in the form of a female figure, a winged bird Alkonost. A modest masterpiece of Russian Art Nouveau. The plot and idea go back to Slavic mythology and Vasnetsov`s 1896 painting of the same name, Sirin and Alkonost, where the opposition of good and evil, despondency and prosperity, are embodied in effeminate winged birds. Alkonost brings prosperity, hope and joy. It is not surprising that she frames the flowerpot; saving with one wing, offering the fullness of life with the other. Physical and metaphysical amulet of the house, hearth. The bewitching, dynamic movement of the figure, spreading its wings, embraces the diamond-shaped boat of crystal. The willful nature of the myth and the variability of luck are contained in the energy of a bird`s impulse, the turn of the head, the face and the dynamic expansion of the beads. The rich, viscous plasticity of open wings, feathers, and women`s hair create a moving, viscous pattern that enlivens a myth that comes to life with the utilitarian practicality of crystal. Moscow hallmark 84 samples of silver, 1908-1917. The maker`s mark is illegible next to it. Length: 29 cm. Total product weight: 2161 gr.

Русский фруктовый вазон из тяжелого хрусталя и серебра, в виде женской фигуры - птицы Алконост.
Русский фруктовый вазон-сухарница из полновесного хрусталя и серебра 84 пробы, в виде женской фигуры, крылатой птицы Алконост. Скромный шедевр Русского модерна. Сюжет и и идея восходят к славянской мифологии и одноименной картине Васнецова 1896 года, Сирин и Алконост, где оппозиция добра и зла, уныния и благоденствия, воплощены в женоподобных крылатых птицах. Алконост несет благополучие, надежду и радость. Неудивительно что она обрамляет вазон; одним крылом сберегая, другим предлагая полноту жизни. Физический и метафизический оберег дома, очага. Завораживающее, динамичное движение фигуры, распластавшей крылья, обнимает ромбовидную ладью хрусталя. Своевольный характер мифа и переменчивость удачи заключены в энергии птичьего порыва, развороте головы, лице и динамичном разлете бус. Богатая тягучая пластика раскрытых крыльев, перьев, женских волос создают подвижный тягучий рисунок, оживляющий миф, вступающий в жизнь утилитарной практичностью хрусталя. Московское клеймо 84 пробы серебра, 1908-1917г. Рядом клеймо производителя - нечитаемо. Длинна: 29 см. Общий вес изделия: 2161 гр.
