AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
De Distel, Amsterdam – Lion Cachet – vase with bird decor – model 160 – early 1920s
Special earthenware vase from Plateelbakkerij De Distel in Amsterdam, designed by C.A. Lion Cachet, manufactured in the early 1920s.
This slender model 160 is decorated with stylized fantasy birds with outstretched wings and long, gracefully curved tail feathers. The motif is rendered in orange and cream with dark details, against a very dark background. Light green foliate motifs on the shoulder and orange bands along the foot and lip complete the ornament.
The refined drawing of the plumage and the strong color contrasts give the vase a pronounced decorative character. The short neck with an outward lip forms a handsome termination to the elongated form.
On the bottom, marked with the factory mark of De Distel and the painted model number 160, alongside additional markings.
