About the Item

This elegant pair of antique faience vases was crafted by the Faïencerie de Gien in France circa 1920 and is marked “Gien France décoré à la main” on the base. Hand-painted in rich cobalt blue, ochre, and ivory tones, the vases are decorated in the Renaissance Revival style with scrolling foliage, stylized motifs, and central cartouches featuring charming cherub figures. Each baluster-shaped vase is flanked by celadon blue sculptural handles and finished with classical borderwork around the neck and foot. The refined ornamentation and bold palette are hallmarks of Gien’s high-quality tin-glazed earthenware production. Founded in 1821, the Gien factory became a benchmark of French ceramic excellence, blending historical influences with meticulous handcraftsmanship. Measuring 13.75 inches high by 6 inches wide and 5.5 inches deep, this antique pair is ideal for mantel, console, or display cabinet use—a striking example of early 20th-century decorative art.
