Slipware vase with applied rose – Art Nouveau style – 27 cm

Tall decorative vase in glazed earthenware, featuring a raised rose and two high openwork handles. Its conical body showcases a shiny glaze ranging from pink to burgundy, accented with molded patterns on the neck and base. The front displays a naturalistic decoration applied in slip: cream rose, buds, stem, and broad leaves shaded in green and yellow. The architecturally designed handles, pointed at the ends, give the whole piece a particularly graphic silhouette. The floral composition and vertical lines evoke the vocabulary of late Art Nouveau. In the absence of a manufacturer's mark or identifiable signature, this piece remains unattributed. The underside bears the impressed reference "1887" as well as the handwritten inscription "14x." Height: 27 cm. Width: 10 cm. Depth: 12 cm. Weight: 700 g. Average vintage condition. Several petals of the rose show chips and losses; visible glaze crazing and signs of use under the base. A characterful vase to display on a console or in a decorative composition with floral inspiration.
