Rather squat, it is adorned with two looped handles that give it the appearance of an antique jar, gentle and familiar. The exceptional richness of its glaze is striking: a deep and intense cobalt blue, a zone of crystallization with hints of lavender and pearly white, like a cloud frozen in the clay, and a flow of olive green speckled with yellow. This is a touching, warm, and intriguing piece that will bring an Art Nouveau touch to your home.

The vase is antique and in superb condition. It is signed on the bottom "Léon Pointu France-177".
