This "Vase with lily decoration" is a fine example of Art Nouveau style ceramics, created in 1900 by the Dutch company N.V. Haagsche Plateelfabriek Rozenburg. The vase features a distinctive elongated form with a bulbous body and a tall, slender neck, culminating in a unique lid with an openwork handle. The white porcelain surface is adorned with delicate floral motifs, primarily lilies, rendered in shades of pink, yellow, and green, showcasing the Art Nouveau movement’s penchant for natural forms and organic patterns. This piece highlights the Rozenburg factory's mastery of intricate hand-painted decoration, a hallmark of their Art Nouveau production.
Comments
The Rozenburg porcelain works presented porcelain of this type at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900. The material it was made of was unusual and pioneering – the thinnest of eggshell porcelain. The vases have flowing shapes, with harmonious swirling ornamentation, such as colourful plants, an oriental dragon and birds.
