Pair of French Antique Faience Delft Polychrome Vases Inc Parrot Lids & Flowers

Pair French Antique Faïence Delft Polychrome Vases Inc Parrot Lids & Flowers This is a beautiful pair of late 19th Century French Faïence covered vases, dating to the final quarter of the 19th century and almost certainly produced in the celebrated pottery centre of Rouen. Elegantly proportioned and richly decorated, each vase is surmounted by a charming, hand-modelled parrot finial, with the birds forming wonderfully matched lids that add both character and sophistication to the pair. The baluster-shaped bodies are profusely hand-painted with exuberant floral sprays, scrolling foliage and Rococo-inspired ornamentation in a vibrant palette of cobalt blue, emerald green, golden yellow, manganese and iron red, all beautifully highlighted against a creamy white tin-glazed ground. The colourful decoration is further enhanced by finely moulded relief scrollwork, demonstrating the exceptional craftsmanship of the period. Inspired by the celebrated ceramics of Rouen, these highly decorative vases perfectly embody the exuberance and elegance of the French Country House style. Their vibrant colours and sculptural form make them equally impressive as standalone decorative pieces or displayed symmetrically on a mantelpiece, console table or sideboard. Wonderfully preserved and displaying an attractive, authentic antique patina, this striking pair would make a distinguished addition to any collection of French faïence or fine European ceramics. A superb and increasingly desirable pair of late 19th-century French Faïence vases, combining exceptional decorative appeal with timeless country house elegance.
