Pair of Large Antique French Longchamp Barbotine Vases, Circa 1890
By Longchamp
Located in Dallas, TX
An exquisite pair of French barbotine vases dating to circa 1890, each vessel has been adorned with a beautiful array of paper-thin flowers that extend beyond the main body. The statuesque vases, which stand almost two feet tall, have incurving necks, allowing the collection of flowers to project even further. Both vases have been painted with a variegated ground scheme of yellow with red striations near the base and a solid sky blue near the top. Flowing green leaves accompany the purple, yellow, pink, and blue flowers, providing a wonderful arrangement of color. Most of the flowers are contained to the front of the vase, but there are some low relief vines that extend to the sides and backs.
Produced by the famed French ceramics studio, Longchamp (the foundry began producing fine earthenware pieces in 1832), these lovely vases would make quite an impression on a foyer center table...

Antique and Vintage Decorative Objects for Sale: Find Vases, Bowls, Boxes and Clocks on 1stDibs
Every time you move into a house or an apartment — or endeavor to refresh the home you’ve lived in for years — life for that space begins anew. The right home accent, be it the simple placement of a decorative bowl on a shelf or a ceramic vase for fresh flowers, can transform an area from drab to spectacular. But with so many materials and items to choose from, it’s easy to get lost in the process. The key to styling with antique and vintage decorative objects is to work toward making a happy home that best reflects your personal style.
Ceramics are a versatile addition to any home. If you’ve amassed an assortment of functional pottery over the years, think of your mugs and salad bowls as decorative objects, ideal for displaying in a glass cabinet. Vintage ceramic serveware can pop along white open shelving in your dining area, while large stoneware pitchers paired with woven baskets or quilts in an open cupboard can introduce a rustic farmhouse-style element to your den.
Translucent decorative boxes or bowls made of an acrylic plastic called Lucite — a game changer in furniture that’s easy to clean and lasts long — are modern accents that are neutral enough to dress up a coffee table or desktop without cluttering it. If you’re showcasing pieces from the past, a vintage jewelry box for displaying your treasures can spark conversation: Where is the jewelry box from? Is there a story behind it?
Abstract sculptures or an antique vessel for your home library can draw attention to your book collection and add narrative charm to the most appropriate of corners. There’s more than one way to style your bookcases, and decorative objects add a provocative dynamic. “I love magnifying glasses,” says Alex Assouline, global vice president of luxury publisher Assouline, of adding one’s cherished objects to a home library. “They are both useful and decorative. Objects really elevate libraries and can also make them more personal.”
To help with personalizing your space and truly making it your own, find an extraordinary collection of decorative objects on 1stDibs.
