Description from the seller
Splendid pair of fine ceramic vases with lids (pendant) made by the renowned manufacturer Villeroy & Boch (V.B.) between the late 19th and early 20th century (Historicist / Belle Époque period). The vases have an overall height of 37 cm, a perfect, versatile size for decorating sideboards, fireplaces, or console tables. They are finely decorated in cobalt blue monochrome under glaze on a milky white background, in the classic and elegant Delft or Decor Flamand style. The octagonal body is enriched with elaborate reserves framed by Rococo scrolls, surrounding rich bouquets of flowers, peonies, and lattice-like geometric details. They feature double pierced handles in the shape of volutes and coordinating lids topped with a bud-like knop. The base bears the authentic marks of the manufacturer, attesting to their originality and the partial manual workmanship of the period: Hand-painted mark: "V.B." (Villeroy & Boch) and the pattern code "DEC. 5053".
