In the plastically ribbed polished brass plant assembly, a glass yellow width with red spots is attached to the top. Elias Palme & Co. was founded in 1849 primarily as a manufacturer of luxury lighting. The products received awards at the World's Fair in Vienna in 1873 and at the World's Fair in Barcelona in 1888. The operation included all possible craft specializations in its production. In its workshops, for example, a trimming basket was created for the auditorium of the Royal Opera in Rome, lighting for La Scala in Milan, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, or the Sydney Opera House. The vases that were created in this company during the Art Nouveau period deservedly belong together with the products of the company Johann Witwe Loetz to the most famous and most sought-after Czech glass products.
