Old Art Nouveau cup Luneville Keller and Guerin

Old rectangular faience dish from Lunéville, manufactured by Keller & Guérin, bearing a blue mark on the back with a Japonese design. Produced in the late 19th century, around 1880–1900, in the Japonese style that accompanies the emergence of Art Nouveau. It features a rich polychrome decoration of a phoenix with long feathers, accompanied by flowers, an insect, and Asian-inspired motifs, in deep blue and red tones, with golden highlights. Its raised edges and four molded feet shaped like clawed paws give it a particularly decorative silhouette. Well-preserved set, without cracks. A chip is noted on the edge, at one corner: the loss follows the curve of the rim and remains slightly prominent in the overall silhouette. Wear to the gilding around the edge due to age, visible in the photographs. Decoration well preserved. Dimensions: 22 × 18 cm — height 7 cm.
