A 19th C. Monumental Cobalt Blue Royal Vienna Porcelain Vase w/ Watteau Scene
Located in New York, NY
A 19th Century Monumental Cobalt Blue Ground Royal Vienna Porcelain Covered Vase with Watteau Scenes. Marvel at the sheer magnificence of this very large, Monumental Royal Blue Ground Royal Vienna Porcelain Covered Vase, an exquisite masterpiece that will leave you in awe. The hand-painted Watteau Scenes on this vase depict a wonderful rural landscape that features a group of beautiful women in gorgeous gowns of burnt-orange, lavender, blue, white, pink, yellow, and apricot. The women are surrounded by a pastoral landscape and a lovely old tree painted realistically with twisted branches, where a cute plump cherub sits on one of the branches and looks down at the dynamic and festive looking women. Two of the women hold a lovely garland of pastel colored flowers, while the others swoon around or perch, leaning on a sweet-looking, doe-eyed white and grey cow that is lying on the ground seemingly enjoying the interaction as it twists its head around to lick its left leg. The foreground of the scene is adorned with detail that creates a sense of depth and perspective. The blue sky and puffy afternoon clouds surrounding the women add to the idyllic atmosphere of the painting. The vase's body is a beautiful deep shiny blue background with extensive delicate gilded decoration in a lace-like pattern surrounding the entire vase except for the painted scenes. The classic urn shape with a footed base and a lovely mounded lid adorned with a perfectly proportioned golden acorn finial. On the opposite side of the vase is another beautifully colored rural scene depicting a floating deer and two women in yellow...

Vintage Dutch Blue Fat Lava Style Flora Gouda Vase, Holland
Located in Antwerp, BE
Vintage blue ceramic fat lava style vase marked on base: Flora Holland. Hand Painted. Flora Holland - Gouda porcelain factory circa 1945 - 1980. Gouda is a generic term describing pottery produced in Gouda, The Netherlands and brightly colored Art Nouveau and Art Deco art pottery produced in Gouda and by other potteries that replicated the Gouda patterns throughout The Netherlands. Earthenware pottery started being produced in Gouda in the 17th century. Gouda became a pottery center because of nearby clay deposits. Clay also was imported from England. Initially, the potters manufactured Delft-type tin-glazed wares and clay pipes. When the production of pipes declined, the potters began producing art pottery. There were many factories spread over the Netherlands producing the "Gouda style" of pottery. Most originally started out making clay pipes. The geographical position of the Netherlands gave the clay pipe/pottery factories an advantage when trading. The great North Sea ports on its coast, the River Rhine for the rest of Europe and being across the water from the Thames estuary, easy access to London. Eventually from there across the UK to Liverpool and other UK ports sending goods to the USA and beyond. Factories such as PZH (Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland, 1898 - 1964), Regina (1898 - 1979), Schoonhoven (1920 - present day), Ivora (origins back to 1630 - 1965), Goedewaagen (first factory 1610 then in 1779 Dirck Goedewaagen - 1982, 1983 - present Royal Goedewaagen...
