Paris ca 1890
Edmond Lachenal (1855-1948)
Rare glazed and enameled ceramic vase in the naturalistic orientalist "Japonisme" style, so favored by Monet and Van Gogh. Decor of butterflies and flowers in bright blue colors on a yellow fond. Signed twice.
Edmond Lachenal was a French ceramist, painter and sculpture, formed by Théodore Deck himself.
This vase is in reasonably good condition, the firing crack in the bottom that was possibly somewhat large has been professionally restored in the past, up to 2 cm from the bottom rim. See the last three photos. Standing it is hardly noticeable. Very well restored.
The vase is stable. Price is accordingly.
