These two vases offer the particularity of being decorated with identical colored flowers on one side, and with dissimilar and complementary characters on the other. Thus, a man and a woman dressed in traditional Breton clothing are represented in a similar setting of fields and birds.
These scenes are enhanced by blue decorations of foliage and flowers, up to the flared collars with yellow borders.
These vases, with their strong Bigouden characteristics, form a harmonious whole with rounded lines.
