Irian by Wallace

Henrik Hillbom designed Irian for Wallace and it was introduced in 1902. Hillbom went on to design the more well know pattern, Peony for Wallace in 1906. A majestic art nouveau design showing a dancing female figure on the terminal with a heavy design of flowers and leaves on the stem. A beautiful floral motif decorates the shoulders of the serving pieces.

    Just acquired a casserole spoon in Irian. It's typical of the many art nouveau patterns incorporating the female form that were very popular in the Edwardian era (1901-1910).
