Tobacco Leaf Epergne by Mottahedeh

The vintage majolica centerpiece features a finely detailed pyramid of artichokes in woven basket, artfully painted in soft shades of green; the basket is done in monochromatic white glaze, creating a reserved, natural color palette of white and tone-on-tone green. The Artichoke Centerpiece was one of the first decorative objects Mottahedeh made in Italy, probably in collaboration with Basso, an Italian manufacturer. The centerpiece offers a touch of historical elegance and whimsical charm to any space. It can be used in a multiple ways, such as dining room centerpiece, console table accent, shelf or fireplace mantel decoration...

This is an exceptional and rare centerpiece made by Barovier and Toso, circa 1930s-1940s. What sets this apart is the versatility and adjustability of the arrangement, allowing for many configurations and shapes. Starting with the hand blown oval shaped centre bowl, the opal glass is filled with gold leaf inclusions making it sparkle without being glitzy. The four gold leaf infused arms sit at the base, which is affixed with a threaded finial. The arms can be spread out either at right angles or maintain an oval shape. One can either use all four arms as candlesticks while placing the bobeches atop the candle cups or placing the four bowls which fit into the candle cups. And one can also use two of each, for a versatile arrangement. Please see all the images to view the myriad possibilities. This clean design works well with many decorative styles and the flexibility is inspiring. Bobeches measure 4.25" D x 1.25" H Epergne Bowls...
