19th Century French Painted Ceramic Barbotine Vase with Vine, Grape & Leaf Decor

This elegant colorful hand painted Majolica planter was sculpted in Montigny sur Loing, France, circa 1860.

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...
