Exquisite French Majolica Art Nouveau Tubelined Iris Vase

Pottery : Antique : Majolica : French

 

I am very pleased to offer this lovely French Art Nouveau vase. A gorgeous Iris in shades of pink, yellow and purple, with leaves in sky blue and fawn—all tube-lined—form the central motif. Figural iris leaves in the same colors scheme form handles on each side. This is one of a pair that is currently available. This piece dates to between 1890 and 1910, likely around 1900. It measures 5 ¼” tall and 2 ¾” in diameter at the base. It bears the impressed numbers 4832 and 76 on its base, as well as the handwritten number 95. It is in superb condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, etc. There is a very fine, tight hairline at the rim. See the photos for details. An identical vase can be seen on page 74 of Jeffrey Snyder’s Marvelous Majolica, but he just identifies it as continental. (I have included a photo of the page below for those who don’t have access to the book.) Given the frequency with which I find these in France, I am confident that they are of French origin. Shipping weight: 1 lb. 7 oz. (Location: A1)
