From the French faiencerie Five-Lille de Bruyn, a pair of Art Nouveau floral form posy vases, circa 1890.

The majolica glazed barbotine vases are modeled as a blooming trumpet vine flower. The body of the vase is a yellow and purple flower opening to hold a fresh cut posy bouquet. The vase has a footing of green leaves with a twining, tightly closed bud.

Delicately molded, brightly glazed, the pair are superb.
Amazing color.

Showing the mark of Gustave de Bruyn, Fives Lille.
Gustave de Bruyn moved from Belgium to Fives-Lille in Northern France in 1864, where he began to produce barbotine pitchers, planters, and vases. In 1889 De Bruyn was awarded a medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris.

6.75 in. H x 5.25 in. Diameter
