Its vibrant colors—shades of green, touches of red and yellow—testify to the craftsmanship of the earthenware manufacturers of the late 19th and very early 20th centuries.

The slender silhouette, the sinuous Art Nouveau handles, and the sculpted base bring elegance and movement to this decorative piece. The applied flowers in relief, typical of majolica production, lend the vase a naturalistic charm and a striking visual presence.

This vase can be used as a decorative element, as a centerpiece, on a console table, or in a collection of antique ceramics.

A charming decorative piece, authentic and emblematic of floral production from the Belle Époque. See less
