Crafted in a refined bottle form with a wide body form & narrow neckA, the vase features a striking decorative scheme with three orange vertical tapering trellis motifs, each fronted by stylized blossoms in two-toned blue and black, set against a subtly mottled light gray ground. The composition is enhanced by gilt-metal floral mounts that echo the vertical motifs and provide a sophisticated metallic accent, reflecting the harmonious integration of ceramic and metalwork typical of Art Deco design. The mount is impressed “FRANCE”, further attesting to its provenance.
This vase is in great antique condition, with minor wear consistent with age and careful use, preserving its artistic integrity and visual impact. Measuring approximately 18 7/8 inches in height with a diameter of 9 inches, it makes a commanding statement as a decorative object while remaining versatile enough for display on a sideboard, console, or mantel. Its combination of bold geometric decoration, refined craftsmanship, and elegant gilt-metal detailing makes this vase a distinguished example of French Art Deco artistry. See less
