Beautiful barbotine cachepot from the 1900 - 1920 Art Nouveau period from the faïencerie d'Onnaing.
The upper rim is decorated with three protruding blue chestnuts, which are repeated on the body in two other places.
The rest of the decoration is essentially composed of chestnut leaves in bistre and pink tones. Both sides are identical.
The highly curved handles are made of gnarled branches in a wood tone that matches the decoration.
The quadripod base ensures the object's stability. It is in the same tone as the handles, but takes up the main motif of chestnuts and chestnut leaves.
The interior is carmine-red, one of earthenware's usual colors, along with pastel blue.
The dimensions are generous 34.5 cm from tip to handle, 23 cm at the opening and 20.5 cm high.
Beautiful half-sun signature from the 1900 - 1910 period, accompanied by the factory mark and model number 805.
The object is in perfect condition, with only a milimetric chip on the top edge that will be revealed by close examination by a trained eye (last photo).
A pure product of Art Nouveau, this planter belongs to a fine line of Onnaing earthenware, of which we present another equally attractive model.
This model will win you over with its originality and relative rarity.
