Slip-cast vase decorated with flowers and butterflies – Late 19th century – Monture

Superb polychrome slip vase with relief decoration of flowers and butterflies on a deep brown background. The richness of the glazes, the finesse of the modeling, and the delicacy of the floral motifs give this piece all the charm of late 19th-century naturalist ceramics. The vase rests on an elegant, finely crafted, original openwork cast iron mount, emphasizing the romantic and decorative spirit of the whole. A small, discreet chip on the neck, visible in the photos, does not detract from the beauty of the piece or the softness of its patina. By its style and color palette, this work is most likely related to the Sarreguemines or Onnaing factories, renowned for their floral and naturalist-inspired slips around 1880. A poetic collector's piece, ideal for adorning a console table or display case. Dimensions: Height 26.2 cm – Diameter 14 cm.
