Presented is a fine Art Nouveau majolica jardinière dating to the late 19th century, likely produced in Belgium or northern France. The piece exhibits the defining characteristics of continental majolica from the period: deeply modeled foliate relief, high‑gloss cobalt and chartreuse glazes, and a substantial earthenware body.
The relief rises prominently from the surface in rounded, organic contours. Glaze pooling within the recesses creates dramatic tonal variation. The underside retains a raised diamond mold mark and a small unglazed kiln‑pad stilt point, consistent with European majolica firing practices of the era.
Measurements: Diameter 8¾ in. Height 8 in.
Condition: Good antique condition with one stable hairline at rim, visible under magnification; minor glaze irregularities and age‑appropriate crazing. No structural damage or restoration.
A refined example of Art Nouveau ceramic design suitable for collectors of majolica, European decorative arts, or period interiors.
