Rare 1905 German Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) naturalistic champagne glasses x 6

  

So these are a set of six beautiful naturalistic champagne glasses which date to 1905 - Jugendstil (German equivalent of Art Nouveau) and I'm pretty certain they were made in Bavaria. The glasses are charming examples of this period with rippled ombre bowls (double gilded at the top), leading down to the four hand blown petals and a stem made up of four parts graduating out and then in to the base which is slightly raised and has an overturned edge.

This period between 1890 - 1910 reacted to the previous 19th century style and focussed on natural hand made forms influenced by plants and flowers. Ive not been able to exactly attribute a company but they have a Meyres Neffe look about them - and the ombre green was definitely used by WMF. Bavaria was a great glass blowing region. They measure 17cm tall, 8.25cm diameter tops, 7.5cm diameter bases. There is a very little wear to some of the gilding but really in very decent condition, just one tiny nibble which I have photographed. I bought five of these from a glass dealer's estate, one had the stock number and amount in set on base - I then by stoke of luck found the final one on the internet and this had the exact stock number and amount in set on base!
