Pair of Art Nouveau vases from the Keller & Guérin (K&G) factory in Lunéville, dating from around 1900. These shaped pieces stand out for: • An organic and elongated design: Typical of the Nancy School, with large stylized handles that embrace the body of the vase and form its feet. • The floral decoration: A central band adorned with umbels or stylized floral motifs painted in fine gold, enhanced with small touches of raised white enamels. • The emblematic colors: A striking contrast between the white earthenware and a magnificent "oven blue" (or cobalt blue), richly highlighted with gilding. With a height of 40 cm, this pair of vases is particularly spectacular and sought after by collectors of Lorraine earthenware from the Belle Époque. In excellent condition.
