Antique Painted French Barbotine Vase by Theodore Lefront, circa 1880

About the Item

Produced by the French studio of Theodore Lefront, circa 1880, this antique barbotine vase features an oblong main body with brass mounts. The vase has been hand-painted with a quaint scene of a pair of chickens (one brown hen and a white rooster with red comb) standing in front of a variegated brown building with a few windows. A green and gold feed bowl is on the hay-lined ground in front of them, with a faint signature (not Lefront’s) visible in golden straw. The vase is topped by a brass crown of repeating pierced oeils de boeuf. A pair of foliate ears with lyre form drop handles are affixed to the sides of the crown. Four similar leaf scrolls function as feet, mounted to a pierced and scrolled ring beneath the vase. A unique painted barbotine vase that would make a fabulous decorative accessory for a mantel or center table. It can also be used to hold cut flowers such as long-stem roses.
