About the Item

Fabulous antique French Provincial faience Armorial snake handled bough pot vase with three Armorial shields depicting a Fleur-de-Lis, a Cross and a V shaped emblem topped by a large blue circular device. Composed of three lower lever amphora shaped vases or bough pots, each with a snake entwined around the neck extending to form handles as they reach the larger vase which stands atop the three. Hand painted with lively floral motifs in moss green, plum, ochre, periwinkle blue and yellow. The interesting juxtaposition of the vases which form this unusual vessel allows for a beautiful multi-level display of flowers, bulbs or branches. This piece dates from the Nineteenth Century and is in very good condition with just a very small abrasion at the top of the rim, nearly imperceptible as it is next to a group of painted leaves and looks like an extension of the design and a small loss to the glaze under the rim, not visible when upright. The body, handles and feet are all in excellent condition, rare for a piece of this age and complex shape. Marks: Stylized Rooster in puce, initials, attributed to Desvres.
