An exceptional Art Nouveau majolica centerpiece depicting a serene maiden in a flowing green gown poised between two gracefully modeled swans, their wings forming twin bowls with soft pink interiors. Richly glazed in characteristic majolica tones, the piece features naturalistic detailing throughout—from the maiden’s flowing hair and organic posture to the textured feathers and lifelike expressions of the swans. The underside bears an impressed maker’s mark, suggesting European manufacture, likely early 20th century. This striking figural composition embodies the elegance and fluid lines of the Art Nouveau movement while offering both decorative charm and functional use. Condition is good overall with age-appropriate wear to the base and minor surface imperfections, but no significant damage detracting from its display appeal. Approx. dimensions (in): 17.75 x 21 x 10.
