AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful enamel-glazed earthenware garniture signed Gustave de Bruyn, Fives-Lille manufactory, dating probably from the late 19th century or early 20th century.
The set consists of three matching pieces:
* two tall, slender vases with openwork handles, (28 cm high, 12 cm wide, 9 cm deep)
* a central two-handled jardinière. (30 cm wide, 12 cm high, 10 cm deep)
Very beautiful geometric and vegetating decoration typical of the Art Nouveau period, composed of broad reserves outlined by a clear relief motif. The ensemble is coated with a deep cobalt-blue glaze, elegantly contrasting with the cream and ivory decorations.
The two vases feature a tall, slightly flared form, with architectural detailing on the handles and the upper rim. The central jardinière repeats exactly the same decor and, together with the two vases, forms a particularly harmonious garniture.
