19th Century Longwy Large Enamel Bowl with Floral and Bird Motifs

About the Item

This bowl is a stunning example of Longwy ceramic craftsmanship, renowned for its vibrant enamel cloisonné-style decoration. Longwy, a French ceramic manufacturer founded in 1798, is celebrated for its unique faïence art, characterized by hand-painted motifs with rich, glossy glazes outlined in black. The floral and bird designs, set against a turquoise crackle glaze, are typical of Longwy’s distinctive style, which gained prominence during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The hallmark on the underside, including the phrase “Décor à la main” (hand-painted), confirms its authenticity as a Longwy piece. The intricate detailing and numbering suggest it was part of a curated series, likely produced between the 1890s and 1900s, during a peak period of Art Nouveau influence. This era saw Longwy ceramics celebrated for their exotic and colorful patterns, which were inspired by nature and far-eastern art. The bowl’s exceptional craftsmanship, vivid color palette, and traditional cloisonné technique make it a valuable and collectible piece. Whether displayed as a centerpiece or part of a curated collection, this Longwy bowl is a testament to the enduring artistry and elegance of French ceramic tradition.
