Villeroy & Boch - Lidded vase (2) - Majolica - Delft style

A splendid matched pair of lidded ceramic vases (pendant) by the renowned manufacturer Villeroy & Boch (V.B.), dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (Historicist / Belle Époque). The vases stand 37 cm tall, a perfect and versatile size for decorating sideboards, fireplaces, or console tables. They are finely decorated in cobalt blue monochrome under a glaze on a milky white ground, in the classic and elegant Delft or Decor Flamand style. The octagonal bodies are enriched with elaborate reserves framed by Rococo scrolls, enclosing lush bouquets of flowers, peonies, and lattice-like geometric details. They feature double pierced handles in the shape of scrolls and coordinating lids topped with a knop bud. The base bears the authentic marks of the manufactory attesting to their originality and to the era’s partial handcrafting: Hand-painted mark: “V.B.” (Villeroy & Boch) and the decoration code “DEC. 5053.”
