Bronze vase Gustav Gurschner ca. 1905

The Tyrolean-born Gustav Gurschner was one of the most famous Austrian sculptors of the 20th century. Thanks to his extraordinary talent and his comprehensive artistic education, he created numerous ornamental objects. His bronzes are especially popular with Art Nouveau collectors.
This small bronze vase, so characteristic of Gurschner, is divided with effect into two parts. The upper part is adorned with pearl-shaped drops combined with a stick-like decoration. The lower part is polished, and its warm bronze tone contrasts with the partially patinated upper part.
