Royal Bonn Art Nouveau Ceramic Vase – Artist Signed

Porcelain : Antique

 

Splendid circa 1900 ceramic vase from the factory of Franz Anton Mehlem. This Royal Bonn earthenware vase with its quintessential Art Nouveau styling has so much going for it.

Both sides of the 12” tall vase are decorated – one side has magnificently painted spider mums while the other side features a woodland forest scene that has been enameled using a watercolor technique.

Gold gilt enamel highlights the tendril shaped handles terminating in foliate sprays. Artist signed, “M. Dirkmann” near foot.

Condition is excellent. No damage or restoration.
