Saint Clement - Vase - Majolica

Grande Jardinière Art Nouveau – Saint-Clément, France

Hand-painted majolica – Pre-fusion period before 1920

Masterpiece from the Saint-Clément manufactory, this exceptional Art Nouveau jardinière stands out for its organic elegance and finely detailed naturalist decoration. Made of majolica and entirely hand-painted, it features a lush array of relief-patterned pansies and foliage, rendered in deep shades of Bordeaux, tender green, and bright yellow. The interior, glazed in a satin pink, adds a delicate and refined touch to the overall piece.

Dated from the period before the merger of Saint-Clément with Keller & Guérin (prior to the 1920s), this piece testifies to the traditional craftsmanship of the manufacturer when it still produced artistic majolicas with sculptural forms typical of Art Nouveau. The two curved handles naturally extend the vegetal lines, while the four flared feet ensure a harmonious and fluid silhouette.

On the reverse, the inscriptions 'painted with love – Saint Clément France,' as well as the Saint-Clément brand in relief, confirm the authenticity and artisanal quality of this period creation.
