Description from the seller
Art Nouveau Flemish Art Pottery Vase Attributed to Leo Maes – Pierced Neck & Whiplash Handles – c. 1900
Description:
A striking and beautifully expressive example of European Art Nouveau art pottery, dating to around 1900. This earthenware vase is a superb showcase of the historic Flemish (Vlaams Aardewerk) potting tradition centered in Torhout, Belgium.
Attributed directly to the renowned workshop of Leo Maes-Vereenooghe, the vase features a wonderful reticulated (pierced) collar with hand-cut geometric triangle and circle openwork. The bulbous lower body is hugged by twin sweeping whiplash handles that mimic natural vines. It is coated in a vibrant, high-gloss lead glaze with running trails of rich cobalt blue, deep emerald green, and caramel ochre.
A highly tactile, authentic slice of Belgian Belle Époque ceramic history.
Period: Circa 1900
Origin: Torhout, Belgium
Material: Glazed Earthenware
Condition: Very good antique condition. No major chips or restorations. Beautifully aged with an all-over micro-crazing pattern in the glaze. Please check photos to review the unmarked base
