This is the latter. A slender, smoke-green glass vase from 1950s Germany, signed by the celebrated decorator Alfred Taube, wearing a gilded heron poised among reeds and trailing willow. The motif borrows its grace from Japanese woodblock prints, all calm lines and patient elegance, while the gold catches the light like sunrise on still water. A polished gilt rim finishes the silhouette with a flourish. Tall, tapering and just a touch theatrical, it is the sort of piece that makes a mantelpiece feel curated rather than merely furnished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMid-century German art glass like this rarely turns up in such fine, collectible condition, and the Taube signature only sweetens the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis green-and-gold beauty loves company that shares its sense of craft.
