An antique bisque porcelain Art Nouveau spill vase / bud vase, dating from around 1900.
- A classical allegorical porcelain figurine and spill holder (or bud vase), likely representing a Greco-Roman muse or goddess such as Flora. The female figure dressed in a white neoclassical chiton and a blue drapery sash, sporting a floral wreath in her hair. The hollow classical fluted column next to the lady functions as a container meant to store fireplace matches (spills) or display a small flower bud.
- The hollow fluted column features a gilded, notched rim design and rests on a multi-tiered pedestal base. The tiered, shaped base is trimmed with deep teal/green coloration and gold bands, reminiscent of late 19th or early 20th-century European porcelain factories like Meissen, Capodimonte, or continental decorative export. This piece however is unmarked.
- Approximately 5.25” tall
This is an Estate find in good condition. It appears to have been repaired on the column as there is a crack (glued) and chip. Figure may have some scuffing, scratches, marking, dust, dirt etc.. and could use some More Cleaning! See photos for greater details.
