Vintage bottle vases made of Talavera de la Reina earthenware.

Magnificent bottle vase (or large soliflore) in traditional glazed earthenware from the famous artisan city of Talavera de la Reina in Spain. This vintage piece, dating from the mid-20th century, is entirely hand-painted. It features the iconic and highly sought-after motif of a stylized bird with outstretched wings on its bulging body. The elongated neck is adorned with geometric and floral patterns in vibrant and typical colors: cobalt blue, ochre, saffron yellow, and copper green on a glossy white background. The object is handwritten signed "Talavera" under its base, accompanied by the workshop's monogram. As a reminder, the craftsmanship of Talavera ceramics is inscribed in UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage. A very beautiful character piece, ideal for bohemian, ethnic decoration or to complement a collection of majolica and Mediterranean earthenware. Rustic / Bohemian / Mediterranean style. Mid-20th century (1950s - 1970s). Very good condition.
