Antique Limoges Pickard urn signed Reury pink clover

Porcelain : Antique : French : Limoges : Pickard

 

This gorgeous antique Martial Redon Limoges urn (sans lid) dates from the 1891—1896 era and Pickard artist Howard Reury has once again produced great beauty with his hand painted pink clover blossoms. The Pickard Mark is 5 (1905—1910). No significant damages or paint loss, the urn is not a common object and of course Reury’s signature is highly desirable.

Reury was and is famous for his depictions of violets. The pink clover was also a favorite subject for him, and he has done them proud. If you want to see what the urn with lid looks like, you have only to consult Mary Frank Gaston’s excellent reference book, The Collector’s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain. The urn stands four inches tall (the lid would have been recessed) and measures ten inches in circumference at its fullest.

I believe this piece presents an unusual opportunity as I doubt many Pickard collectors have urns from this time period! Member, Pickard Collector's Club.
