Florentin Brunz Gaborieau

A sculptural Royal Worcester Art Nouveau pitcher modelled as a curled cabbage or lettuce leaf, its surface naturalistically textured and shaded in soft greens, browns, and ochres.

The pitcher’s organic form rises from a circular base and twists gently into a flared, rippled rim that mimics the irregular edges of a real leaf. The exterior is matte glazed in variegated earthy tones, while the interior is finished in a warm blush coral. A finely modelled handle, seamlessly integrated into the leaf form, curves fluidly from the back of the vessel, enhancing the naturalistic silhouette.

This pitcher is almost certainly shape number A184, part of Royal Worcester’s popular late Victorian and Edwardian vegetable and leaf ware series. These pieces combined practical form with botanical inspiration, reflecting the wider Art Nouveau interest in the elegance of organic motifs.

Founded in 1751, Royal Worcester was at the forefront of design innovation in porcelain, and by the early 20th century was producing a variety of ornamental wares inspired by nature. This piece showcases the factory’s ability to combine whimsy, realism, and craftsmanship into a cohesive and highly decorative object.

PLEASE NOTE – shipping costs include professional packing and full insurance. Due to the fragile nature of the pieces and the requirements for international customs processing, we are unable to combine items into a single parcel. Combining multiple items not only increases the risk of damage but also requires additional paperwork for each item, making the package more likely to be delayed or selected for customs inspection. To ensure safe and efficient delivery, each item is shipped individually with its own correctly documented declaration.
