An Art Nouveau period piece with a sculpted silver plate base in fantasy motif and ruffled art glass vase, Germany circa 1910. The elaborate silver plate stand features a cherub perched on a heavily scrolled horn of plenty, reaching for a large butterfly. This horn of plenty is joined to a scrolled, raised base by an old-world dolphin. Rising up from the horn is a hand-blown glass vase in a pale green hue, with delicately ruffled edges and a diagonal stretch of applied glass with shell decoration. The underside is marked WMFB for Wurtemberg Metalware Factory in Germany, and numbered 98.
