Circa 1890-1900 Figural nude Art Nouveau Silver-plate planter bowl Jardeniere, possibly a cooler of some type. Possibly by WMF but no marks found. Really stunning piece from an estate in Atlanta this week. Had belonged to owners grandmother and guaranteed old piece. It measures 10\" long, approx. 8\" deep overall and about 5\" tall to highest part of her arm. Excellent condition for age with normal wear, no excessive silver loss or large dents or repairs. There is a drain hole inside so this may possible have had some glass liner and could have been a cooler for Caviar or ????. Really great figure with water lilies and nude. Not sure if the thing in her hand is a butterfly with a wing missing or a flower? Please view pictures. Fairly heavy piece at 3 pound 5 ounces.
