About the Item

From the French faiencerie Five-Lille de Bruyn, a pair of Art Nouveau floral form posy vases, circa 1890. The majolica glazed barbotine vases are modeled as a blooming trumpet vine flower. The body of the vase is a yellow and purple flower opening to hold a fresh cut posy bouquet. The vase has a footing of green leaves with a twining, tightly closed bud. Delicately molded, brightly glazed, the pair are superb. Showing the mark of Gustave de Bruyn, Fives Lille. Gustave de Bruyn moved from Belgium to Fives-Lille in Northern France in 1864, where he began to produce barbotine pitchers, planters, and vases. In 1889 De Bruyn was awarded a medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris. The vases are hand molded and vary slightly in size: 6.75 in. Height x 5.25 in. Diameter 6.25 in. Height x 5.75 in. Diameter. Incredible antique conditions.
