AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Royal Bonn “Flamand” Vase – Blue-and-White Fine Earthenware – Germany, circa 1900
Beautiful two-handled vase in glazed fine earthenware, with a blue-and-white transfer-printed design in the “Flamand” style of the Royal Bonn manufactory (Franz Anton Mehlem, Bonn, Germany).
The baluster-shaped body is entirely covered with a dense geometric pattern reminiscent of a mosaic, interspersed with panels featuring landscapes with trees and floral arrangements (tulips, roses).
The neck has a characteristic coppery-brown border, and the two pierced handles repeat the same mosaic pattern.
Marks on the underside of the foot: Royal Bonn printed mark (crown above the intertwined initials “FM”, with “1755 Bonn”), “Flamand” inscription in script, impressed model number “2982”, and impressed factory marks.
Date: circa 1900 (late 19th–early 20th century)
Condition: Good overall condition. There is a fine hairline crack on the inside of the neck, visible only when looking inside the vase (invisible from the outside and not detectable by touch). It does not affect the vase’s structural integrity or appearance. No other chips or cracks observed.
