Description

This finely detailed and stunning pair of German pottery vases was made at the Mettlach factory circa 1890. They were renowned for making this type of fine ware. These perfect pairs are luxuriously decorated in rich colours and gilt. Elegantly shaped with a flared foot supporting a bulbous elliptical body with a tall slender neck decorated with moulded bands terminating in a slightly flared neck. They have a central continuous panel of raised and incised foliate scrolls and flower heads over a stippled ground with multiple bands of delicate decorative boarders above and below. The neck is similarly decorated with smaller foliate scrolls over the same stippled ground and again with matching boarders above and below. These fine examples are in excellent original condition with no restoration. They are well marked on the underside with factory marks, US patent, Pattern number and artist mark.

German, circa 1890
Height 28cm x depth 12cm x width 12cm
