AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Art Nouveau Vase – Saint-Clément, France – Hand-painted Majolica

Superb creation by the Saint-Clément manufactory, this Art Nouveau majolica vase embodies the naturalist poetry and sensual refinement characteristic of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This piece was produced before the factory's merger with K& in 1888.

Decorated with a blooming iris motif, modeled in gentle relief and hand-painted in a delicately nuanced palette of greens, ochres, and pinks, it features the same floral composition on both sides, giving the piece perfect visual harmony.

The organic handles, with gentle curves, naturally extend the floral stems, reinforcing the vegetal momentum characteristic of the Art Nouveau style. The bright, deep, and luminous enamel enhances the color transitions and highlights the sculptural character of each petal.

On the back, the engraved mention 'painted with love – Saint Clément France' attests to the artisanal work and exceptional care given to this piece, demonstrating the excellence of one of the most renowned French manufacturers for its artistic faience.

A striking decorative piece, this vase combines elegance, craftsmanship, and timeless charm, making it a sought-after object for both Art Nouveau enthusiasts and discerning collectors.
