This is a lovely old French Faience Fleur-de-Lis Vase with a floral design made in the Desvres region of France. The décor includes stylized bouquet and flowers. The modeling, decorating, and glaze are well done with typical colors of Desvres pottery: creamy white background decorated with bright dark blue, brilliant lemon yellow, iron red, and sage green. The backside and inside are glazed, the underside base is unglazed. Desvres faience was a famous art pottery technique whereby tin glazes and decorations are applied over modeled terra cotta clay forms, and fired several times in a kiln. Please note this is not Quimper, but Desvres. Though similar, there are different color palettes used and other nuances on the two potteries. Dimensions (in inches): 6.4 Tall X 6.2 Wide X 4.0 Deep. Weight 1 Lb., 3.3 Oz. The date is circa late 19th Century. The item is in very good condition other than firing flaws and minor wear; there have been no repairs or restorations. Shipping and Insurance USPS Priority Mail within the U.S. is $12.00. Thanks for bidding!
