Victorian English Aqua Blue and White Cased Glass Epergne, Lily Form, c. 1915
Antique Victorian English Aqua Blue & White Cased Glass Epergne – Lily-Form Ruffled Rims – Spiral Trailing – c.1915
A graceful and distinctive antique English epergne of exceptional decorative character, crafted circa 1915 in soft aqua blue and white cased glass with applied spiral trailing decoration throughout. This is a piece of quiet drama — the flared, asymmetric ruffled rims of each vase are shaped to resemble the open petals of lilies, giving the composition an organic, almost botanical presence that sets it apart from more conventional epergne forms.
The arrangement features a larger central vase surrounded by three companion vases, all rising above a large float bowl, creating a layered, garden-like display. The spiral trailing runs throughout, hand-applied with fluid confidence, unifying the piece with a delicate hand-worked elegance. The cool aqua and white cased glass palette catches light beautifully, shifting from soft blue to luminous white. Unsigned, as is characteristic of English art glass of this period.
