A charming early 20th-century hand-painted art pottery vase of gently tapering ovoid form with a short flared neck. The upper body is decorated with a stylised landscape scene featuring trees, water, and flying birds, rendered in soft pastel tones of green, mauve, and ochre. The scene is framed by flowing, organic Art Nouveau-style lines in deep blue.
The lower body is finished in a delicate blush pink glaze, segmented by vertical gilt bands with raised beaded detailing, adding a refined decorative contrast. The shoulder is further enhanced with gilded accents around the neck, complementing the overall design.
Period:
Circa 1900–1920
Origin:
Likely European (possibly French or Austrian in the Art Nouveau taste)
Materials:
Glazed ceramic with hand-painted and gilt decoration
Condition:
Good antique condition. Minor wear to gilding and light surface marks consistent with age. No obvious cracks or restoration visible.
