Description from the seller
For sale is an exceptional antique ceramic vase from the renowned Dutch manufacturer De Porceleyne Fles (Royal Delft), dating to the year 1903.
The vase is distinguished by its rare and distinctive 'Reflet Métallique' glaze, a special form of metallic iridescent luster glaze associated with Royal Delft's Berbas series.
The development of this distinctive ceramic design was led artistically by Adolf le Comte.
Depending on the light, the surface reveals a fascinating metallic play of colors with shifting red, blue, and green tones.
