Beautiful vintage French faïence flower vase in the traditional bouquetière/tulipière form, featuring a tall central opening surrounded by four smaller flower spouts.
The piece is hand painted with colorful floral and foliate decoration in cobalt blue, ochre yellow, rust/orange, green and soft blue, with charming small butterfly-like motifs. The unusual five-opening design allows individual flower stems to be arranged around the central vase.
The underside is hand marked “FRANCE”, confirming French manufacture, along with “225,” “XIII” and an additional unidentified artist/workshop monogram. The exact maker has not been confirmed, so no specific French pottery is being attributed.
Personally handpicked in France.
Approximately 7” tall × 6” wide.
Vintage condition with visible wear. There is a notable area of glaze/paint loss and chipping at the upper rim of the central vase, as shown clearly in the photos, along with additional rim wear, scattered glaze loss, surface marks and age-related crazing. Please review all photos closely for condition.
