SILVER-GILT TEA GLASS HOLDER. ODIOT FRANCE, LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY

An exquisite silver-gilt tea glass holder by the Parisian house Odiot, representing a refined example of French decorative metalwork of the Belle Époque period. The body is constructed as a rhythmic system of openwork arcades, within which unfolds a relief ornament of grapevine with clusters and plastically modelled leaves. The fine chasing and richly developed surface texture enhance the play of light across the metal, lending the object a painterly depth.

The curved handle is designed as a scrolling vegetal form with a floral medallion at its center, creating a выразительный silhouette and balancing the overall composition. The lower band is decorated with a classical ornamental frieze, providing a stable base for the openwork structure. The interior is gilded, enhancing the decorative effect and emphasizing the ceremonial character of the piece. Such holders were intended for glass tumblers and formed part of the refined culture of European table setting at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries, combining utility with artistic expression.
