About the Item

This impressive antique French barbotine vase is a masterful example of faience artistry, distinguished by its richly applied floral relief and painterly glaze. Standing 27 inches tall and measuring 11.5 inches in diameter, the baluster-shaped vessel is hand painted in a soft gradient of greens, yellows, and earthy browns that highlight its organic form and provide depth to the overall composition. The front of the vase is adorned with an exuberant bouquet of sculpted flowers in full bloom, including roses, peonies, and hydrangeas, all individually modeled and glazed in naturalistic shades of burgundy, cream, lilac, and blush. Glossy green leaves and trailing blossoms continue up the neck and cascade onto the footed base, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and romantic sensibility of late 19th-century French ceramics. In excellent condition commensurate with age, with no major losses to the applied elements, this tall decorative faience vase offers striking visual impact and authentic antique charm. Ideal as a centerpiece or placed on a pedestal, it brings vibrant color and sculptural texture to traditional or eclectic interiors.

19th Century, French, Hand Painted Barbotine Faience Floral Vase from Montigny
Located in Dallas, TX
This antique majolica planter was sculpted in Montigny sur Loing, France, circa 1860. Tall and oval in shape, the ceramic jardinière stands on a flat rectangular base; it features colorful hand painted floral motifs in high relief on a brown background. The elegant barbotine vase is in excellent condition with rich patinated colors in the pale green, yellow, beige and pink palette. Impressionist ceramics term generally applies to "paint the slip" or "batch gouache". At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the towns of Montigny-sur-Loing and Marlotte are many artists living places like Jean-Baptiste Corot, Eugène Thirion (1839-1910), Adrien Schulz (1851-1931), Numa Gillet (1868-1940) and Lucien Cahen-Michel (1888-1980), all attracted by the quality of the landscape and the light. When Eugene Schopin founded in 1872 a ceramics factory, he worked with the painters to create a range of designs inspired by Impressionism and decorated according to new public demands. Several ceramic factories will develop around this Impressionist movement. The most famous, such as Georges Delvaux (1834-1909), Albert Boué (1862-1918) and Charles Alphonse Petit (1862-1927), will produce until 1922. Other manufacturers, such as Theodore Lefront...
