Superb glazed ceramic vase in the shape of a gourd, featuring a double-bulged body, a narrow neck, and a side handle. It features a remarkable decoration of multicolored drips in shades of brown, green, blue, and bronze, with an iridescent trickling effect. The complex glaze, with its blended shades, demonstrates refined technical expertise, typical of the aesthetic research around 1900.
This type of decoration evokes the flamed stoneware of regional French schools (notably Burgundy or Vallauris) and the naturalist style promoted by the Art Nouveau and Arts & Crafts movements. A decorative piece of great visual richness, as much for collectors as for lovers of artistic ceramics.
