Theo Colenbrander's "Garniture of five vases" from 1886 is a striking example of Dutch Art Nouveau, also known as Jugendstil. The five vases are decorated with intricate floral and geometric patterns in vibrant colors, showcasing Colenbrander's mastery of the art of ceramic decoration. The stylized floral designs are typical of Art Nouveau, which embraced organic and flowing forms inspired by nature. These vases are a testament to Colenbrander's talent and the influence of the Art Nouveau movement on Dutch art.
Comments
Theo Colenbrander was the artistic mastermind of the Rozenburg earthenware factory in The Hague. His designs exhibit great freedom in both form and decoration. The slender, ribbed shape of these vases recalls bamboo. The ornamentation is modern: abstractly rendered floral and plant motifs in bright colours. Their shapes, however, are quite old-fashioned. It is a garniture (set) of five vases for display atop a cabinet.
