Large polychrome earthenware cachepot with floral decoration resting on three panthers – 20th century
A remarkable globular glazed earthenware cachepot, entirely hand-decorated with large stylized flowers in soft shades of mauve, pink, and green on a cream background.
The upper rim is adorned with a polychrome vegetal frieze evoking bunches of berries and autumn leaves.
The distinctive feature of this piece lies in its sculptural base composed of three black panthers arranged around a decorated circular base.
This original treatment, blending naturalistic inspiration with Art Nouveau aesthetics, gives the piece a spectacular decorative presence.
The freely painted floral decoration and the generous shape of the vase reflect the late 19th-century taste for naturalistic compositions and decorative objects intended for refined interiors.
Condition: Good overall condition. Firing cracks in the glaze consistent with the piece's age, slight wear, and minor signs of use. No major damage is visible.
Dimensions:
Height: 37 cm
Maximum diameter: 32 cm
Material: Polychrome glazed earthenware
Period: Early 20th century
Style: Art Nouveau / Naturalist
A very beautiful decorative piece, equally elegant empty or adorned with a floral composition, combining the delicacy of a painted floral design with the originality of a figurative base in the form of panthers. A distinctive piece that will find its place naturally in a collector's home or a refined, eclectic decor.
